The year I turned ninety, I wanted to give myself the gift of a night of wild love with an adolescent virgin.

Taught him the only thing he had to learn about love: that nobody teaches life anything.

She would say, "Someone should invent something to do with things you cannot use anymore but that you still cannot throw out.

Caribbean reality resembles the wildest imagination.

Love becomes greater and nobler in calamity.

One can be in love with several people at the same time, feel the sorrow with each, and not betray any of them.

A man should have two wives: one to love and one to sew on his buttons.
