“It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it.”
“God judges us on the basis of the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ.”
“I see now that true love isnâ€™t fickle; it's what we put into it. If we work hard at loving someone, then no one can corrupt the love we have.”
“What I like about cooking is that, so long as you follow the recipe exactly, everything always turns out perfect. Itâ€™s too bad thereâ€™s no recipe for happiness. Happiness is more like pastryâ€”which is to say that you can take pains to keep cool and not overwork the dough, but if you donâ€™t have that certain light touch, your best efforts still fall flat. The work-around is to buy what you need. Iâ€™m talking about pastry, not happiness, although money does make things easier all around.”
“When children see animals in a circus, they learn that animals exist for our amusement. Quite apart from the cruelty involved in training and confining these animals, the whole idea that we should enjoy the humiliating spectacle of an elephant or lion made to perform circus tricks shows a lack of respect for the animals as individuals.”
“Our past can control today and tomorrow only to the degree we allow it. The past should not be a place where we dwell but a place from which we learn all we can and then move on.”
“I mean how do you know what you're going to do till you do it? The answer is, you don't. I think I am, but how do I know? I swear it's a stupid question.”
“Life's too short. I'm not!”
