    “You know my folks love you,” I said.

    “They love you.”

    “And I love you, so they love you. It’s basic math.”

    Marriage is between two people. There is no studio audience
  • b0923375145has quoted4 years ago
    Love makes a place in your life, it makes a place for itself in your bed. Invisibly, it makes a place in your body, rerouting all your blood vessels, throbbing right alongside your heart. When it’s gone, nothing is whole again

    Maybe that’s what innocence is, having no way to predict the pain of the future. When something happens that eclipses the imaginable, it changes a person. It’s like the difference between a raw egg and a scrambled egg. It’s the same thing, but it’s not the same at all. That’s the best way that I can put it. I look in the mirror and I know it’s me, but I can’t quite recognize myself

    Someone always pays. Bullet don’t have nobody’s name on it, that’s what people say. I think the same is true for vengeance. Maybe even for love. It’s out there, random and deadly, like a tornado
  • Maria José Sandovalhas quoted4 years ago
    Get on your knees when you talk to the Lord. Do not call yourself praying by lying in the bed thinking
  • Maria José Sandovalhas quoted4 years ago
    Yes means yes and no means no, but what is the meaning of silence?
