"I don't have the heart to hurt you; it's the last thing I want to do; but I don't have the heart to love you, not the way you want me to."
"That's what it was to be alive. To move about in a cloud of ignorance, to go up and down in a trampling on the feelings of those...of those about you. To spend and waste time as though you had a million years. To be always at the mercy of one self centered passion or another. Now you know-that's the happy existence you wanted to go back to. Ignorance and blindness."
"A man who fears nothing, loves nothing. If you love nothing, what point is there to life? Listen to what you criticize most severely, and you will hear what you most fear you are.
It's much easier to be lonely without someone. . .than it is to be lonely with someone.
To live happily with a pet, one must first accept the responsibility of disciplining it consistently and firmly with much love. To live happily with ourselves. . .it is the same.
I have come to regard unrequited love like a hole in a sock. Mend it, or discard it. Don't just stand there with cold feet.
I made the bed today. I almost thought I was over you. . . for a minute.
Ask something of me please. I know there is no answer. . .but often, I need to feel it would be me you would ask. . .if there was one.
Nothing is everything, Everything is anything, And anything and everything are nothing.
Perfection is the prefect flaw.
Impressions are but images and images are but impressions. I know who you are. You are so much of me that is I don't love you, I won't exist. And I'm selfish. I don't want to miss something.
Stay with me long enough to let me hear again, that far away music Of yesterday...when I was young.
There is so much about me that I don't know until I talk to you.
Sorry I didn't answer. I was listening to what you weren't saying.
The beautiful togetherness of our silence makes me wonder why we ever bothered to speak at all.
I am not locking you out! I am trying very hard not to lock you in! Maybe it's, the same thing.
Let me be angry..please It is the only way I can keep you from seeing how much I need you.
I am not a piece of jewelry to be worn so that others will admire you. If you choose to continue...you must remember that when jewelry is displayed...it can be stolen.
Love, Love...where are you? You alone soothe the ache.. And I can not believe in you.
Today, I know how lonely I am for you. I have mistakenly called four people by your name.
The most I can hope for, right now is to make it to tomorrow...just once..without listening for the phone.
I never lied to you. I always told you the truth about love. The joke is you listened to me. I didn't
I know myself, now that you have left. I shall be everywhere hoping to make such memories with someone else. That is when I will really feel you have gone.
We weren't living together anyway, we were hiding together.
Pain and loneliness make you strong. I dish that one out a lot. Today I don't want to be strong. I want to dream just as much as anybody else. But, I keep on paying my dues, anyway and I really don't want to belong to that club anymore.
You were so busy finding yourself in me....That I had run from you to keep from killing the both of us.
Have you learned yet, that who you know is not who you are. The softer I walk, the louder I hear.
To won anything is to be owned by it. I never wanted to own you, it's impossible. And I never wanted to be owned. But I guess I always wanted you to pretend that you thought I was worth owning.
In these moments of despair when I really don't care whether or not I survive, then, am I most keenly aware of the certainty that I will. That's the pain of it ....and the miracle.
I am astounded at how long it take to discover, for the first time, the things I have learned over and over again all my life,
Most loneliness is pain...peering into mirrors of self-pity with the hope of seeing someone else to blame it on.
Listen to what you criticize most severely and you will hear what you fear most.
The nicest thing about my life now, is that I am here with me most of the time.
It isn't always best to let everything spill out. At times, there is more to be gained by using restraint! Remember, it is the water held back by the dam that lights the cit.
