“The denigration of those we love always detaches us from them in some degree. Never touch your idols: the gilding will stick to your fingers.”

“When we judge other people we confront them in a spirit of detachment, observing and reflecting as it were from the outside. But love has neither time nor opportunity for this. If we love, we can never observe the other person with detachment, for he is always and at every moment a living claim to our love and service.”

“Never miss an opportunity to show your love, especially to those close to you, because we are always at our most cautious with them for fear of being hurt.”

“I was watching television and I saw how you stick your fingers in a person's eyes to slow them down."

“Those swords are mine! Touch them and I’ll use ‘em to slice off your nut sack! For a coin purse!”

“When you come to be sensibly touched, the scales will fall from your eyes; and by the penetrating eyes of love you will discern that which your other eyes will never see.”

“When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. You are connected to your child and to all those who touch your lives. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.”

“If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours.
And if they don’t they were never.”

“IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY, LET THEM GO, FOR IF THEY RETURN, THEY WERE ALWAYS YOURS. AND IF THEY DON'T, THEY NEVER WERE.”
