It seemed to me that the desire to get married – which, I regret to say, I believe is basic and primal in women – is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge – which is to be single again.

My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they’re afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won’t do that

Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.

Being single is getting over the illusion that there is somebody out there to complete you and taking charge of your own life.

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself.

I love being single. I can come and go as I please and stay out as late as I want to.

You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.

If we seek paradise outside ourselves, we cannot have paradise in our hearts.

Now I’m feeling how I should. Never knew single could feel this good.

I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don’t see things clearly as long as you’re still involved.

You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.

We did not come to remain whole. We came to lose our leaves like the trees, trees that start again.

No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another’s happiness.

To love blindly is to love selfishly, because the goal of such love is not the real advantage of the beloved but only the exercise of love in our own souls.

I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.

I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.

I like being single, I’m always there when I need me.

Discover why you’re important, then refuse to settle for anyone who doesn’t completely agree.

I don’t like to be labeled as lonely just because I am alone.

This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.

I am a lover without a lover. I am lovely and lonely and I belong deeply to myself.

My mom has this great skiing event in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, every year for a local charity.

I can appreciate that on one side, but we have to remember that the system is designed corruptly, and works against us, so you cant convict those who can benefit from the system, because its not neccesarily their fault.

The biggest surprise about our marriage is that Erin was out there.

Technology isn't the enemy, it is our ally, but only if we adopt a new model that puts people before profit. I realize that we seem far from that model, but I have seen it in action and it is a beautiful thing. So I'm not willing to give up yet. Hope is the last thing to die.

The BAFTAs give the British point of view, and the Oscars give the American point of view, but the truth is we're all working in an international industry.

Most people today don't feel that Barack Obama is on our side. We sense he's incapable of doing what Roosevelt did, of loving his country so much that he was willing to run great risks in order to advance its cause, to free others from a new Dark Age - and protect our own liberty in the process.

Given a choice between great food and boring company or boring food and great company, I'll take the great company any day.

The joyful news that He is risen does not change the contemporary world. Still before us lie work discipline sacrifice. But the fact of Easter gives us the spiritual power to do the work accept the discipline and make the sacrifice.

No real surrender involves convenience.

I've often thought that we left the original 'Phantom' with a little bit of a cliff hanger, and I thought, 'Well, why not to do a sequel to it' at one point.

When I was 17, I listened to reggae music. I loved Bob Marley. I started growing dreadlocks. It's always been my way, that the outside matches what's going on with me inside.

With my new venture, Club Mom, we want to empower moms to feel their value and also build their collective power to make their lives better and easier. We want to bring them together as a community to share experiences and information.

Criticism like rain should be gentle enough to nourish a mans growth without destroying his roots.
