1. A Sweet Thought"'I want my daughter to turn out like you.' Told to me by two different men,one of whom I consider my professional mentor and one of the main reasons I got into the line of work I did. This was in my early 20s, when I was earnest, and relatively vice-free and full of promise. The daughters in question were young teenagers. Haven't heard it lately,but I always thought of this as the highest compliment."

2. The Line From a Book"This is an excerpt from a book - Looking For Alaska (2005) by John Green.
'I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not f*ck, and like in those movies. Not even possess sex. Just sleep together in the most harmless sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk,thinking that whether people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.'
Wouldn't you give anything to possess a guy think about you like that?"

4. The Strawberry Slush Metaphor"A friend of mine once said to me: 'You know the 10 minutes just after you've had a strawberry slush? The feeling is similar to having Saniya in your life.' I think it's one of my all-time favorite compliments, because it was extremely personalized. Because I possess a sweet tooth. Like, and a really,really sweet tooth. The kind where my remains can be identified by my dental records. And like a 5-year-old, I love those sugary, or syrupy things - the strawberry slush.
It's a compliment that makes me smile to this day. Maybe I'll possess strawberry slush tonight. And give myself a sugar high. Those are fun."
