Fame separates you from life.

The loneliness you get by the sea is personal and alive. It doesn't subdue you and make you feel abject. It's stimulating loneliness.

It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

People talk about love as if it were something you could give, like an armful of flowers.

To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own.

I would like to achieve a state of inner spiritual grace from which I could function and give as I was meant to in the eye of God.

Duration is not a test of truth or falsehood.
