thinking heaven world
There’s too much love in the world. Sometimes I think that’s what heaven is---- a place where everybody’s happy because nobody loves anybody else, ever.
thinking shantaram our-future
I think that we all, each one of us, we all have to earn our future.
men thinking way
Men reveal what they think when they look away, and what they feel when they hesitate. With women, it's the other way around
writing thinking firsts
I think the novel form chose me. I was a writer before I became a criminal... my first instinct was to write.
thinking think-of-you knows
Never let anyone know what you're thinking - always know what the other thinks of you.
thinking people looks
Fanatics have the look of people who do not masturbate but who think about it almost all time.
thinking long littles
So when will be the time to get on the train? I think.....a little bit almost quite very soon and not long.
thinking years tests
Friendship is something that gets harder to understand, every damn year of my life.Friendship is like a kind of algebra test that nobody passes. In my worst moods, I think the best you can say is that a friend is anyone you don't despise.
past love-is thinking
I think the future is like anything else that's important. It has to be earned. If we don't earn it, we don't have a future at all. And if we don't earn it, we don't deserve it, we have to live in the present, more or less forever. Or worse, we have to live in the past. I think that's probably what love is - a way of earning the future.
thinking house size
I sometimes think that the size of our happiness is inversely proportional to the size of our house.
heart pride thinking
Some loves are like that. Your heart starts to feel like an overcrowded lifeboat. You throw your pride out to keep it afloat, & your self-respect & independence. After a while you start throwing people out - friends, everyone you know. & it's still not enough. The lifeboat is still sinking, & you know it's going to take you down with it. I've seen that happen to a lot of people. I think that's why I'm sick of love. - Karla
heart possibility beats
every human heart beat is a universe of possibilities.
running stupid men
The world is run by one million evil men, ten million stupid men, and a hundred million cowards.
