Lisa Jacobson quotes

  • Piglet: "How do you spell 'love'?" Winnie the Pooh: "You don't spell it...you feel it."

  • Life is what happens when you're doing other things, right?

  • If I say your voice is an amber waterfall in which I yearn to burn each day, if you eat my mouth like a mystical rose with powers of healing and damnation, If I confess that your body is the only civilization I long to experience… would it mean that we are close to knowing something about love?

  • If you want to read about love and marriage, you've got to buy two separate books.

  • Marriage changes things because there's a lot more at stake. You can't get too toxic because you have to live together. No one can reach for the nuclear button too quickly.

  • All other goods by Fortune's hands are given; A wife is the peculiar gift of heaven.

  • There is no compromise when it comes to corruption. You have to fight it.

  • What I would say to the young men and women who are beset by hopelessness and doubt is that they should go and see what is being done on the ground to fight poverty, not like going to the zoo but to take action, to open their hearts and their consciences.

  • I think we are constantly faced with the same decision. The decision to be blindly obedient to authority versus the decision to try and change things by fighting the powers that be is always, throughout history, the only decision.

  • We go fish, we also catch fighting fish, looking for birds and it was for kampong people, the paddy field was our the play field for the children.
