How Was I Supposed To Know


“How was I supposed to know what’s real and what’s not?

I Think When Men Hear


“I think when men hear that women want a commitment, 
they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship,
 but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anywhere. 
I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life.”

~ Mindy Kaling, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

She Was Broken

I think it’s because 
she loved too much 
and she was always blind

that love too 
is sometimes broken.”

In Her Usual Manner


“In her usual manner, Merkel spoke in German. 
It is worth pointing out, however, 
that before the translator had an opportunity to convert her statements to English, 
Obama gave the chancellor and the press a big smile, saying, 
‘I think what she said was good. I’m teasing.’ 
The laughter in the room drowned out 
the sounds of the cameras clicking and flashing,
 with Merkel’s giggle and smile among the loudest.”

~ Claudia Clark, Dear Barack: 
The Extraordinary Partnership of Barack Obama and Angela Merkel

You can change yourself, 
and Garrett can change himself, 
but you can't do it for him.”

~ Nicholas Sparks, Message in a Bottle
