Reason
(page 3)
Mothers are the people who love us for no good reason. And those of us who are mothers know it's the most exquisite love of all.
My children are the reason I laugh, smile and want to get up every morning.
Romantic lovers require from each other at least the facade of reason: We desire to be what romantic love makes us appear in the other's eyes. We want to imagine we are deserving of the love we inspire.
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
The reason I exercise is for the quality of life I enjoy.
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great, and they know I know it.
I'm one of those people who has always struggled with emotions and revealing them. When my dog Orson died, I did this very male thing of 'It's just a dog and I'll just move on.' I was very slow to grasp the emotion. But Orson is the reason I started writing about dogs.
When a moment in front of me appears to be particularly special, whether it be by beauty or experience, I capture it. I usually find a reason to justify taking that photo — symmetry, or color, or contrast — and it's my hope that my photography sheds light onto what I see and do on a daily basis.

The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, candy corn. It's unbelievable to me. Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America that's never been advertised. And there's a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911. And so, since nobody eats that stuff, every year there's a ton of it left over.
Life is a battle between faith and reason in which each feeds upon the other, drawing sustenance from it and destroying it.
The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.
I see no reason to have my shirts ironed. It's irrational.
Critics have a job to do. They do not criticise you without reason.
Crying is cleansing. There's a reason for tears, happiness or sadness.
Honestly, I feel like everything in life happens for a reason, and my son has been the greatest gift that God has given me in my life and been the most game-changing thing that's happened to my life, in a necessary way.
Love has its own time, its own season, and its own reasons from coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you.
I'm convinced that probably everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. It's just one more reason to always try to be kind.
I am blessed beyond reason with women friends.
