I have never bought into the idea that blood is thicker than water. Love and respect are meant to be earned from our children, our spouses, our families, and our friends. ↗

Witty sayings don’t grow on bumpers the way babies do. I was raised by a single rush hour.

Houses are built brick-by-brick. HOMEs are built word-by-word. Houses don't build themselves. So YOU must build your home ↗

I have always been a lone wolf and in the real sense of the word (people say it all the time but it's usually not true.) I feel like I watch people and I wonder why they do things. Especially when it comes to love and relationships: most of the time I am thinking "Why are they together when they are not meant to be together?" but then I realize that they don't know that they're not meant to be together; it's just me who knows things like that! And I don't see any importance in all the other reasons why people usually want to be together— because it looks good, because it's convenient, because it's a fun game to play... the only reason to be with someone is if you are meant for someone. You're a wolf and they're a wolf too and you look at each other and you say "You're my family, you're my home." Well, that's how I think. ↗

There are things you forget naturally-computer passwords, your father's continuing relationship with life-and then there are things you can't forget that you wish you could. ↗

The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum, and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world. ↗

We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep. ↗

I didn’t look at Thanet. I couldn’t because he would see the hurt on my face. “He loves you,” Thanet said. “He’s hurting and it’s not just the Quinn thing. It’s being away from you and wondering if you’re hurting, too. Or if you’re having too much fun to hurt. What he really needed was to laugh, though. So we laughed…until he cried.” That undid me. I looked at Thanet with so many questions on my lips. ↗

إن قاعدة اللقاء في ظاهرة الزوجية الكونية هي التخالف، وليست التوافق، فاللقاء الخصب المنجب يجب أن يتم بين متخالفين ومتباينين، ومن ثم فإن العلاقة بين الرجل والمرأة تقوم على التخالف، على المستويات العضوية والعقلية والنفسية، وهذا التخالف هو الشرط الأساس لوجود ظاهرة (التكامل) والتعاون، حيث يظهر لكل واحد من الزوجين أن كمال البنية المشتركة بينهما - وهو الأسرة - لا يأتي من أي منهما على انفراد، وإنما من خلال اللقاء الإيجابي بينهما، وتكميل أحدهما للآخر. ↗
