There were times after my marriage ended where you know I really felt like I was at the bottom of a mountain there was a great big fog up there and I'm never going to cross to the other side.

A wedding is a funeral where you smell your own flowers.
Where love is concerned too much is not even enough.

Where love rules there is no will to power and where power predominates there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
True love cannot be found where it does not exist nor can it be denied where it does.
People everywhere love Windows.
Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration I don't think you can go wrong.

The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time given me the greatest respect and love for the game.
