"Love risks everything and asks for nothing."

--

Rumi

“Sin and the devil will always find helpers in our hearts.”
“Who what am I? My answer: I am everyone everything whose being-in-the-world affected was affected by mine. I am anything that happens after Iâ€™ve gone which would not have happened if I had not come. Nor am I particularly exceptional in this matter; each â€˜Iâ€™, every one of the now-six-hundred-million-plus of us, contains a similar multitude. I repeat for the last time: to understand me, youâ€™ll have to swallow the world.”
“There is only one way to make a great deal of money; and that is in a business of your own.”
“Life is short, so fall in love, dear maiden, before your youthful ardor cools off, for there is no tomorrow.”
“After living with their dysfunctional behavior for so many years, people become invested in defending their dysfunctions rather than changing them.”

“A student comes to me with a piece of writing, holds it out, says, 'Is this good?' A whole sequence of emergencies goes off in my mind. That's not a question to ask anyone but yourself.”
“Don't settle for mediocrity; never let good enough be good enough.”
“When I work alone, it can be like dabbling with a canvas. Maybe you paint over bits, and it starts to form its own life and lead you off in a direction. It becomes an intuitive, subconscious process.”
