eye world new-eyes
Yet the world is the same as it always was. It is merely that you see it with new eyes.
support world tasks
He leaned upon her as if there was no other support anywhere in the world, and she held him as if she would undertake no other task for all eternity.
sometimes models refuse
Sometimes we become what we see. Sometimes we take what we see and make it the model for what we refuse to become.
love-you men lasts
I have changed for the last time--this is the man I will be till I die. And that man loves you.
soul way kind
He is so kind that he makes me search my soul to find new ways to be compassionate to others.
hurt love-is afraid-to-love
Everybody's afraid of love, because love is what hurts the most.
stars world all-that-remains
For the world slows and the stars falter, and all that remains is you...
winning men hard-times
It is very easy to shun someone who is deliberately cruel, and everyone loathes a man who is brutal and vicious. Such people have a hard time winning followers. But an individual who is gracious, who is attractive, who smiles and flatters and praises - that is a person who can lead whole nations to disaster. Who would not want to follow such a man or woman? Everyone is drawn to beauty and wit.
morning fall night
And if I should leave you, for any reason," he added, tightening his grip as she struggled to free her hand, "I will return to you. That is as certain as the sun rising tomorrow morning and the thunderbolt falling tomorrow night. That is as sure as the god's existence. I will come back to you, or I will find you - over and over again, as often as we are parted, until the end of the world itself.
heart thinking compassion
If love makes you sad, you acquire a little depth, a little compassion. If it makes you happy, you learn how to be joyous. Every relationship should color your soul to a certain degree, don't you think? Every friendship, every love affair - each one should build up the chambers of your heart the way a sea creature builds the chamber of his shell.
heart hands way
We cannot go backward. We cannot erase time and events. But we can go forward, hand in hand, hope in our hearts and love lighting our way.

prayer believe heart
Are you asking me if there is a god?' he said, still in that soft voice. 'All I can say is, I believe there is. I feel him when I sing. He has responded to my prayers countless times. He guides my actions and he dwells in my heart. I know he is there.
fall emotional feet
I've remembered that most of life is about small, essential connections, so unobtrusive, so elastic, that you scarcely realize they're actually holding you together. The big ones-the great, grand emotional bonds-those are the ones that break, the ones that fail you, the ones that give way and send you careening toward the foot of the bleak and jagged canyon. It's the tough, gnarled, unadorned ties that really do bind, that never let you fall all the way down into darkness.
