Most of all I grieve for my soul because even though I do, finally, believe there is a God, and that I have met him, I do not know if he has given me an immortal soul, but only one that was to last me as long as my body lasted. I do not know if when the last page of my book is closed, that will be the end of me.

Sometimes, if I am not careful, and I stare too long at a flower, it shrivels and dies.

True courage, in the face of almost certain death, is the rarest quality on earth.

We all die. It's just a question of when and how horrible it's going to be.

The best art always comes unbidden.

One question always leads to another question. Some things are better to wonder about.

Don't simply knock and wait for the door to be opened. Go look for the keys. Some fit the lock better than others.
