Gardeners may create order briefly out of chaos, but nature always gets the last word,

and what it says is usually untidy by human standards. But I find all states of nature beautiful, and because I want to delight in my garden, not rule it, I just accept my yen to tame the chaos on one day and let the Japanese beetles run riot on the next.
Diane Ackerman

The thing about impressing your girlfriend is that when you do something like a private island in Fiji, it's all downhill from that point.
Kevin Hart

To be honest, I chose romance because writing a book seemed so dauntingly long. I looked around for something short, discovered Harlequin romances, and decided to read a few to see if I could do it.
Lori Wilde

We cannot sway extremists with rational thought or with our ideas of right and wrong.
Roxane Gay

Our culture is all about shallow relationships. But that doesn't mean we should stop looking each other in the eye and having deep conversations.
