We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage then to their disadvantage.
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
Love comes when manipulation stops when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love like the cat?
There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.
Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.
I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them and then you never know where the hell you are.
True love is like ghosts which everyone talks about and few have seen.
I wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. That's the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about.
People have a moral standard about what they will do and will not do. At the end of the day someone who cheats has a lower moral standard than someone who does not. And they will cheat in other areas of life as well.
Life is too short to worry about anything. You had better enjoy it because the next day promises nothing.
Haters never win. I just think that's true about life because negative energy always costs in the end.
Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life.
The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about nor read about nor seen but if one will are to be lived.
I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you're trying to make money and then go to another meeting where you're giving it away. I mean is it gonna erode your ability you know to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you're trying to do?
When I first envisioned 'Funny Games' in the mid-1990s it was my intention to have an American audience watch the movie. It is a reaction to a certain American cinema its violence its naivety the way American cinema toys with human beings. In many American films violence is made consumable.
