“When I see someone with six-pack abs, I know we won’t have fun because that person doesn’t know what fun is. Their idea of a good time is putting on tight shorts and working on their stomach muscles. Someone with love handles is putting on oven mitts and working on baking the perfect cinnamon buns. They’re fun.”

“Although he wasn't trying to, he had taught me one of the most meaningful lessons about love that I have ever received- that when all else is lost, love is the one thing that remains.”

“The more money you make, the more you spend on stupid stuff and the more you grow your life into something bigger, and that bigger life needs even more money. Ultimately you end up more stressed than when you started out. The trick is to live a small, simple life, but for some reason we aren’t built that way. We always want more. And it’s stupid.”
