To love someone, I have to admire and respect them.

I love you, with a love so great that it simply couldn't keep growing inside my heart, but had to leap out and reveal itself in all its magnitude.

but i've slammed the door to my inner self; if he ever wants to force the lock again, he'll have to use a harder crowbar!

Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!

If I read a book that impresses me, I have to take myself firmly by the hand, before I mix with other people; otherwise they would think my mind rather queer.

The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.
