Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish.
Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all.
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair.
The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now.
Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
