“She gives me hope
When there's nothing but pain;
I can't explain it:
Two different leaves
But the branch is the same…
Forever let it be!
She takes the rain…”

“When my wife told me that she was anal, I thought, "Great." Turns out, there are two different kinds of "anal"… And she's the wrong one.”

“Woman, please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again…
I love you
Now and forever.”

“[On dealing with physical and emotional pain] … a friend taught me before I gave birth…“don't try to take your mind away from the pain. Go right into the centre of the pain”, because when she did that she found the pain dissipated. It's true for me anyway, but it's not always possible, I admit. It has become a valuable exercise to apply to different things in life, of not avoiding or disregarding pain or bad feelings. I just have to remember that nothing in life is ever stagnant and that this grief or ache is going to change because everything in life changes.”

“I can't leave her there all alone, surrounded by stone walls… She's too precious to give up.”

“She leaned into me, and when I closed my eyes, I knew I wanted nothing more than to hold her this way forever.”

“And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called.
And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all.
And you flash back to when he said forever and always.
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom,
Everything is wrong.
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone.
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always.”

“She liked people. Me, I can take them or leave them, but mostly leave them.”

“When a woman has seen me, as you have, she belongs to me. She loves me forever.”

“[S]he leans into this guy and rocks her head like I’m making this music for her, when if I could, I would take it all away and give her as much silence as she’s given me pain.”
