“You know it's love when you want to give joy and damn the consequences.”

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.”

“When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. When you desire a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it.”

“Everyone always wants to know how you can tell when it's true love, and the answer is this: when the pain doesn't fade and the scars don't heal, and it's too damned late.”

“When its true, when it's right, love can give you the kind of joy that you can't get from any other experience.”

“Sometimes, when you are not getting the love you want, giving makes you think you will.”

“When you feel someone else's pain and joy as powerfully as if it were your own, then you know you really loved them.”

“Why? It’s because I love you, damn me to hell. Because I’ve always loved you. Because I loved you when you were with John, and I loved you when I was in India, and God only knows I don’t deserve you, but I love you, anyway.”

“Be a reflection of what you'd like to see in others. If you want love, give love. If you want honesty, give honesty. If you want respect, give respect. You get in return, what you give.”

“You will know your vocation by the joy that it brings you. You will know. You will know when it's right.”
