Pastoral Resources

In working on a poem, I love to revise. Lots of younger poets don't enjoy this, but in the process of revision I discover things.

If they don't read, if they don't love reading; if they don't find themselves compulsively reading, I don't think they're really a writer.

Having played an angel for so long, you can imagine that I've been asked to endorse any number of causes over the years. Obviously I have to limit my participation with any charity, so I decided to really concentrate on my love of children.

I'd love to do some bedtime stories for kids or that kind of thing. But with the demands of the shooting schedule and balancing the demands of being a single mother, it's a wonder you can squeeze in anything.

We can't command our love, but we can our actions.

I believe in the compelling power of love. I do not understand it. I believe it to be the most fragrant blossom of all this thorny existence.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

As an actress, it appeals to me because I love the idea of playing those in-between moments, the sort of behavioral stuff that one might not normally see.

I was equally in love with singing and acting from an early age.

I like the theater enormously, but I truly love films - the whole bizarre, boring process that it can be.

But I love filmmaking - I'm not ashamed of that. You're sort of vilified if you say that in England.

On the last analysis, then, love is life. Love never faileth and life never faileth so long as there is love.

To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever.

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.

There is a silence, the child of love, which expresses everything, and proclaims more loudly than the tongue is able to do.

Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are.

Love works a different way in different minds, the fool it enlightens and the wise it blinds.

Love is love's reward.

Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue.

Love is not in our choice but in our fate.
