beautiful men world
Even the handsomest men do not have the same momentary effect on the world as a truly beautiful woman does.
mcdonalds eating-alone adults
For an adult, eating alone at McDonald's is admitting a kind of defeat.
cities people earth
Krakow is one of my favorite places on earth. It is a medieval city full of young people. A wonderful, striking combination.
writing long stories
Writing a short story is like having a short intense affair, whereas writing a novel is like a long rich marriage.
real two people
The first great real intimacy between two people begins when secrets are told.
hands phones people
Why do people always gesture with their hands when they talk on the phone?
fear heart doors
Fear pounds on the door to our heart demanding to be let in. Joy is modest and often comes into our lives like a shy person entering a room; it can take a while to even notice it's there.
falling-in-love optimistic men
Buying a pair of shoes is one of the most optimistic acts I know, next to falling in love. I like nothing better than to see an old man wearing a brand new pair of brogues or cap-toed oxfords, preferably jaunty orange-brown, unscuffed, heels unworn. We want to be here tomorrow, but buying new shoes, like falling in love, says I plan on being here tomorrow.
years two forgiving
Part of life is a quest to find that one essential person who will understand our story. But we choose wrongly so often. Over the ensuing years that person we thought understood us best ends up regarding us with pity, indifference, or active dislike. Those who truly care can be divided into two categories: those who understand us, and those who forgive our worst sins. Rarely do we find someone capable of both.
lost ifs
Yo can always take back the lost parts of yourself if you can find and recognize them.
heart two add
If it was as logical as that, I wouldn't continue to feel as bad as I do. I know what you're saying, and you're absolutely right in a way. But logic and rationality only go so far. Then you know what happens? Ha! Then your heart adds its two cents and everything reasonable goes right-out-the-window.
two liking-someone people
People who truly love us can be divided into two categories: those who understand us, and those who forgive us our worst sins. Rarely do you find someone capable of both.
waiting forever different
The problem with waiting for someone, whether that wait is an hour or a lifetime, is everyone's 'clock' is different. So what you might consider forever is only a little while to them, or vice versa.
lying hate people
Lying is too much trouble. You have to make sure to taste each word before letting it off your tongue. I hate that. It's hard enough making people understand without lying.
