What we seek, at the deepest level, is inwardly to resemble, rather than physically to possess, the objects and places that touch us through their beauty.

The media insists on taking what someone didn't mean to say as being far closer to the truth than what they did.

We should not feel embarrassed by our difficulties, only by our failure to grow anything beautiful from them.
