"Date a boy who makes you happy, but marry him only if he makes you laugh... Date him when he sees that you're hurting and he gives you a moment to feel that pain like a handprint spreading across your consciousness, marry him only if he can make you smile even while you're gross sobbing. The world is not a kind place. You will feel a lot of pain. Make sure you are with someone who makes it all bearable. Humor is an excellent gauge of intelligence."

Make sure he has scars on on the back of his hands, it's a good sign he has experience either fighting or making things - creation is an act of selflessness and bruised knuckles are a good sign he knows how to defend himself. You've got too much soul to be handled by someone who has never been passionate... Rough palms are better than soft ones, they have been salted by this earth and made into leather. Callouses are evidence he has lived, that he has broken skin and been in pain over and over and over again and still came back to the source of it. People rub against each other. Don't marry him if he can't handle even a little blister.

- And then I cried a flood of tears as if I really were a mermaid who had absorbed too much sea into herself. The tears spilled like a balm, like a potion, like a charm. In them swam a little girl whose father was dying without ever having seen her. In them swam a girl whose mother’s magic – the only thing the girl envied more than anything else in the world, the t...

"If he isn't in awe of you, he doesn't deserve you. You are my little girl and you were born perfect. If he can't see that, it's his loss. There is someone who thinks your flaws power his heart. Be strong. If he asks you to change, be like the rock of your birthstone, do not waver. You are wondrous just the way you are."

- Keep silent when you have said enough. Stand up, speak up, hush up.
- Keep silent unless it is your turn to talk.
- Keep silent when you are provoked. Don’t say anything that will make you regret.

- Keep silent as you enter the church so that God can speak to you.
