The urge is always with me to retouch yesterday's canvas with today's paintbrush and cover the things that fill me with regret.

God cannot be referred to as 'good,' 'better,' or 'best' because He is above all things. If a man says that God is wise, the man is lying because anything that is wise can become wiser. Anything that a man might say about God is incorrect... The best a man can do is to remain silent...The true master knows that if he had a God he could understand, he would never hold Him to be God.

Only a man unable to handle the actual world would create another one in which to hide.

If you listen to the wind very carefully, you'll be able to hear me whisper my love for you.

With every fragment of rock that fall from me, I can hear the voice of Marianne Engle. I love you. Aishiteru. Ego amo te. Ti amo. Eg elska pig. Ich liebe dich. It is moving across time, coming to me in every language of the world, and it sounds like pure love.

All history is just one man trying to take something away from another man, and usually it doesn't really belong to either of them.

Perhaps there are just some things you leave behind when you choose a new life.
