It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve and bad things are very easy to get.

She didnt understand what it was like to be filled with a love so strong that it made your chest achea love you could only feel and not express. Keeping love buried was a lot like keeping anger pent up Id learned. It just ate you up inside until you wanted to scream or kick something.

Marriage isnt a love affair. It isnt even a honeymoon. Its a job. A long hard job at which both partners have to work harder than theyve worked at anything in their lives before. If its a good marriage it changes it evolves but it does on getting better. Ive seen it with my own mother and father. But a bad marriage can dissolve in a welter of resentment and acrimony. Ive seen that too in my own miserable and disastrous attempt at making another person happy. And its never one persons fault. Its the sum total of a thousand little irritations disagreements idiotic details that in a sound alliance would simply be disregarded or forgotten in the healing act of making love. Divorce isnt a cure its a surgical operation even if there are no children to consider.

To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.

I know were fucked up all right Im impulsive and hot-tempered and you get under my skin like no one else. You act like you hate me one minute and then you need me the next. I never get anything right and I dont deserve you...but I fucking love you Abby. I love you more than Ive loved anyone or anything ever. When youre around I dont need booze or money or the fighting or the one-night stands...all I need is you. Youre all I think about. Youre all I dream about. Youre all I want. - Travis

He was powerful and I died of love in his shadow.

Youll probably die if you stay with me he told me.Then Im dead either way because I wont survive without you.

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy dont hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back that sometimes something happened better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway thats often the case. Anyway whatever it is dont be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb. Dont Hesitate

Love brings to light a lovers noble and hidden qualities-his rare and exceptional traits it is thus liable to be deceptive of his normal qualities.
