We have been led to believe that if we are really in love, it will last forever. However, once the experience of falling in love has run it’s course, we return to the world of reality and begin to assert ourselves.

There are five emotional love languages—five ways that people speak and understand emotional love.

If I identify and learn to speak my spouse’s primary love language, I will have discovered the key to a long-lasting, loving marriage.

Some couples believe that the end of the “in-love” experience means they have only two options: a life of misery with their spouse or jump ship and try again.

However, there is a third and better alternative: We can recognize the in-love experience for what it was—a temporary emotional high—and now pursue “real love” with our spouse.

Your wife’s complaints are the most powerful indicators of her primary love language.

There is nothing more powerful that you can do than to love your wife even when she’s not responding positively.

The loss of a friend is like that of a limb time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired.

Hope is a believe in God.

I'm not intelligent. I'm not arrogant. I'm just like the people who read my books. I used to have a jazz club, and I made the cocktails and I made the sandwiches. I didn't want to become a writer - it just happened.

Appalling things can happen to children. And even a happy childhood is filled with sadnesses.

He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it.

No one is guaranteed their next moment, or their next breath; yet, humanity has a habit of thinking of its existence on the earth as eternal. Those who are rooted and grounded in Christ know that life is just a vapor.

I wouldn't trade those 10 years for anything. The Navy taught me a lot of things. It molded me as a man, and I made a lot of wonderful friends.

When money and hype recede from the art world, one thing I won't miss will be what curator Francesco Bonami calls the 'Eventocracy.' All this flashy 'art-fair art' and those highly produced space-eating spectacles and installations wow you for a minute until you move on to the next adrenaline event.

I'm a naughty sweetheart.

Being a servant will take you places where your talent will never take you.

I'm a sock guy.

Education should not be about building more schools and maintaining a system that dates back to the Industrial Revolution. We can achieve so much more, at unmatched scale with software and interactive learning.

When all is said and done, monotony may after all be the best condition for creation.

In Haiti, it - people seemed - in my experience in Haiti, people are so open to photographs and journalism. And there doesn't seem to be the same sort of restrictions or wariness about the press that you would experience in Washington, for instance, on many levels.

I've made a career over the last seventeen years of mostly playing men in uniform, especially cops. The one thing for an actor that is death, is if you're bored. The boredom will show in your work.

A bad relationship is like standing on broken glass if you stay you will keep hurting...If you walk away you will hurt but eventually you will heal.

When you're around the kids, you feel like you act the most grown up just because you're supposed to lead. I say things, like every other parent, that reminds you of your own parents. One thing I do know about being a parent, you understand why your father was in a bad mood a lot.

I never fit in. Everyone knew my dad was Indian. I was half-Indian.
