Carly Simon

I always live in some kind of anticipation of something good happening.

There ain’t no freedom when you’ve got a worrying mind.

Seeing things that are bothering you written down takes away their power. It gives you a perspective. Helps you contain them.

Actually, I think the more Ben [Taylor] sings, the less like James he sounds.

When I was a little girl, I so wanted to be sociable, but I was scared that I wasn’t going to be able to speak a sentence because I had such a bad stammer.

I’m constantly reemerging in my life.

You know the funny thing, I don’t get along with rich people. I get along with the middle class and the poor people better than I get along with the rich people.

Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it’s debilitating.

I’m a little bit afraid to give my heart away right now. It’s very scary. I’m open to it, but I just want to make sure that I’m taking my time.

There’s a big difference between falling in love and being in love. There’s a big difference between infatuation and falling in love.

It’s fun to have a partner who understands your life and lets you be you.

A lover cannot be chosen a la smorgasbord. A lover has to be chosen from soul-craving. To choose just because something mouthwatering stands before you will never satisfy the hunger of the soul-self. And that is what the intuition is for; it is the direct messenger of the soul.

Good sex is like good bridge. If you don’t have a good partner, you’d better have a good hand.

If somebody put a loaded gun to my head & said call your wife the “c” word, i would just tell them to shoot cause it s a quicker death!

I think you have different soul mates throughout your life, that your soul needs different things at different times.

There is nothing wrong with your marriage if you’re dealing with bills and kids and the broken garbage disposal and in-laws and work demands. That’s a normal marriage.

The only other person who has a clue about what this is, the good, the bad, is your partner.

Business, you know, may bring money, but friendship hardly ever does.

Relationships are truly like a garden, if you tend it, water it, weed it and feed it, it will grow into a beautiful garden. If you only go out there every few weeks to look it over for a few moments, what do you think it’s going to look like in a few months? It’s going to be a weed patch. It will disappear.

The most beautiful girls wear their hearts on their sleeves and their souls in their smiles.

Lasting love and forgiveness are two sides of the same page.
