Her Highness Awesomeness

A divorce is like an amputation: you survive it, but there’s less of you.

To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect.

The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough of is love.

That’s how you know you love someone, I guess. When you can’t experience anything without wishing the other person were there to see it, too.

First love is unrequited ultimately because it’s so huge. It’s such an act of giving and it requires so much back that it can never be given back. It’s like an atom bomb…It’s all the energy of who you are and who you want to be and what you love and what you hope to be explodes. It is impossible for a single…human being to offer that back to you in a mutual way.

It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.

The most important things are the hardest to say because words diminish them.

You remember too much, my mother said to me recently.Why hold onto all that? And I said,   Where can I put it down?

We kill all the caterpillars, then complain there are no butterflies.
