Love Quotes

I found the experience of falling in love or being in love was a death: a death of everything.

In a death-and-rebirth sense.

My life is fair game for anybody. I spent an unhappy, penniless childhood in Brooklyn. I had to slug my way up in a town called Hollywood where people love to trample you to death. I don't relax because I don't know how. I don't want to know how. Life is too short to relax.

When you have closed the Bible, you have neither closed God's mind nor shut God's mouth. God continues to speak, live and exist.
