I am like a snake who has already bitten. I retreat from a direct battle while knowing the slow effect of the poison.

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it.

We don't have a language for the senses. Feelings are images, sensations are like musical sounds.

Things aren't the way they are, they're the way you are

Creation which cannot express itself becomes madness.

The core of creation is to summon an image and the power to work with the image.
