Mick Foley Quotes

A big book is like a serious relationship; it requires a commitment.

I think love is a huge factor in fiction and in real life. Is there a risk? Always. In fiction and in life.

I cannot guarantee anything.

It's always a leap of faith when you get involved with somebody.

To choose love and jump in not knowing, with a lot of unknowns, is a brave act.

If you're falling in love with several people, it's really important to not just continue coasting in the relationships and start taking big steps towards permanence, especially before you're going to meet someone's family.

But risk is just part of relationships. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

It's more like you meet someone, and you fall in love, and you hope that that person is the one - and then at some point, you have to put down your chips. You just have to make a commitment and hope that you're right.

I think marriage is all about timing. Getting married is insanity; I mean, it's a risk - who knows if you're going to be together forever? But you both say, 'We're going to take this chance, in the same spirit.

Marrying means, to grasp blindfolded into a sack hoping to find out an eel out of an assembly of snakes.

Do not believe that living together before marriage guarantees the future. By burning certain stages, you risk burning love itself. Time needs to be respected gradually, just like the expressions of love.

If we commit ourselves to one person for life, this is not, as many people think, a rejection of freedom; rather, it demands the courage to move into all the risks of freedom, and the risk of love which is permanent; into that love which is not possession but participation.

Women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage

I knew it was all or nothing.

I always thought the joy of reading a book is not knowing what happens next. (Leonard Shelby, Memento)

Why do you keep reading a book? Usually to find out what happens. Why do you give up and stop reading it? There may be lots of reasons. But often the answer is you don't care what happens. So what makes the difference between caring and not caring? The author's cruelty. And the reader's sympathy...it takes a mean author to write a good story.

What else may hap, to time I will commit.

Marriage means handing over yourself, your body, your future, your keeping to the one whom you dearly love, although this person may, in many ways, remain a stranger. This tremendous act of faith is something that can unlock in each lover powers of compassion, generosity, joy, passion, fidelity and hope that no one guessed was even there. That is why the confidence of young lovers is not foolish or arrogant, but an expression of a basic fact in human experience that the greatest of human gifts are set to work only when people are prepared to risk everything and first you risk it before God.

You're asking me will my love grow. I don't know, I don't know. You stick around now it may show. I don't know, I don't know

I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.

And so a person can never promise to love someone forever because you never know what might come up, what terrible thing the person you love might do.

If you have the least doubt about it, do not marry.

Love's scary, and sometimes it's transient. But it's worth the risks and the nerves. It's even worth the pain.

A book is like a door. You walk through the cover and you don't know what you're going to find.

Running a marathon is just like reading a good book. After a while you're just not conscious of the physical act of reading.
