lonely stars home
You know what I noticed when I was with Jacob? In your world, people can reach each other in an instant. There's the telephone, and the fax - and on the computer you can talk to someone all the way around the world. You've got people telling their secrets on TV talk shows, and magazines that publish pictures of movie stars trying to hide their homes. All those connections, but everyone there seems so lonely.
marriage giving-up mean
A sacrament--like marriage--means living a life better than your natural instincts, so that you're modeling God. And God never gives up.
mirrors looks who-we-are
Did you ever wonder if the person in the picture is the same one you see when you look in the mirror?" - "That's the eternal question, isn't it? Are we born who we are, or do we make ourselves that way?

I'd like to say that this time I'd kill myself too..but I've never had that kind of courage.
tattoo art children
In my previous life I was a civil attorney. At one point I truly believed that was what I wanted to be- but that was before I'd been handed a fistful of crushed violets from a toddler. Before I understood that the smile of a child is a tattoo: indelible art.

love-is sight looks
You know how hind-sight is 20/20? Love is when you look back and wouldn't change anything.
pay dogma landlord
You can't pay a landlord in dogma.
giving handicaps extras
Maybe if God gives you a handicap, he makes sure you've got a few extra doses of humor to take the edge off.
children hate firsts
As Lacy waited for her turn to speak on Peter's behalf, she thought back to the first time she realized she could hate her own child.
mother children thinking
I thought of all the magazine article I'd read on mothers who worked and constantly felt guilty about leaving their children with someone else. I had trained myself to read pieces like that and silently say to myself, 'See how lucky you are?' But it had been gnawing at the inside, that part that didn't fit, that I never let myself even think about. After all, wasn't it a worse kind of guilt to be with your child and to know that you wanted to be anywhere but there?
love-is way form
The way i see it, love is just a bigger, stickier form of trust.
guy skins bus
I once heard someone on a bus say that this guy had gotten under her skin. And it struck me as a remarkable thought - that someone would affect you so deeply they'd always be a part of you.
