The Creed Maxim

“I am running away but I prefer to call it a strategic retreat.”

“I don’t owe people anything, and I don’t have to talk to them any more than I feel I need to.”

“I feel myself a stranger.”

“You know who’s gonna give you everything? Yourself.”

“Behind all this, some great happiness is hiding.”

“The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”

“We were not lovers, we were love.”

“My imagination will get me a passport to hell one day.”

“I loved her not for the way she danced with my angels, but for the way the sound of her name could silence my demons.”

“I never wanted to have anything in my life that I couldn’t stand losing.”

“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.”

“I let it go. It’s like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home.”

“There is nothing wrong with staying with someone and trying to make it work. Just be sure you know the difference between determination and desperation.”

“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.”
