Listen to your life. All moments are key moments.

If you talk about sin, you don't have to use the first person singular, but speak out of that part of yourself which knows what it means to become estranged from people you love. Speak in your own voice about things that you in your own life have in one way or another experienced.

The past is the place we view the present from as much as the other way around.

To be bored to death is a form of suicide.
