"Love is a special word, and I use it only when I mean it. You say the word too much and it becomes cheap." ― Ray Charles Topic(s): Love More From Ray Charles "I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water." "My music had roots which I’d dug up from my own childhood, musical roots buried in the darkest soil." "I did it to myself. It wasn’t society… it wasn’t a pusher, it wasn’t being blind or being black or being poor. It was all my doing." More In Love "There are days when I struggle with wanting to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom, and feeling guilty about that because I work."― Tori Spelling "The truth is that there is only one terminal dignity – love. And the story of a love is not important – what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity."― Helen Hayes "You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."― Buddha
