Fanatics have the look of people who do not masturbate but who think about it almost all time.

We carry oceans inside of us, in our blood and our sweat. And we are crying the oceans, in our tears.

Love is the opposite of power. That's why we fear it so much.

Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears. In the end that’s all there is: love and its duty, sorrow and its truth. In the end that’s all we have - to hold on tight until the dawn

It's forgiveness that makes us what we are. Without forgiveness, our species would've annihilated itself in endless retributions. Without forgiveness, there would be no history. Without that hope, there would be no art, for every work of art is in some way an act of forgiveness. Without that dream, there would be no love, for every act of love is in some way a promise to forgive. We live on because we can love, and we love because we can forgive.

I sometimes think that the size of our happiness is inversely proportional to the size of our house.

Slowly, desolately, the fist of what we'd done unclenched the clawed palm of what we'd become.
