A wise man once told me- he’s a muslim by the way- that he has more in common with a jew than he does a fanatic of his own religion. He has more in common with a rational, reasonable-minded Christian or a Buddhist or Hindu than he does with a fanatic of his own religion. In fact, he has more in common with a ration, reasonable-minded atheist than he does with a fanatic of his own religion

The most precious gift you can bring to your lover is your suffering.

Because my life has been so notorious and so bad, it can overshadow my work.

Silence is the tortured man's revenge.

The best revenge, like the best sex, is performed slowly, and with the eyes open.

Some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. Some things are so sad that only your soul can do the crying for them.

The real trick in life is to want nothing, and to succeed in getting it. - Karla
