The funny thing about me is I'm kind of schizophrenic, because after four or five nights in a row of going out to parties, I just have to be alone.

I nursed Mason for 14 months and Penelope for 16, and I loved it. It was built-in time that the two of us could share alone every day. I didn't have any goals or expectations. Kourtney Kardashian builddayexpectation Change image and share on social
To hike out alone in the desert; to sleep on the valley floor on a night with no moon, in the pitch black, just listening to the boom of silence: you can't imagine what that's like. Nicole Krauss blackboomdesert Change image and share on social
Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent, and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself. John Jay Chapman benevolencecravegift Change image and share on social
Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence.
