Life is progressive, no matter what our intentions.

The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.

This is perhaps the best feeling in the world. I love going to sleep at night and wondering what weird and wonderful dreams I'm going to have however I always prolong sleep as long as possible, immeasurably happy simply listening to the sound of my fiancees breathing and feeling his arms around me. It's when you fall in love with these little things that you know you're truly in love.

After all, life hasn't much to offer except youth, and I suppose for older people, the love of youth in others.

They were smiling at each other as if this was the beginning of the world.

Who would not be pleased at carrying lamps helpfully through the darkness?
