The state of love is this constant flux back and forth between who's saving and who's rescuing, who's wanting and not wanting, who's needing and who isn't. It's always going back and forth between two people who are actually attached.

I don't think you can have an imagination without having fantasy, and you can't have that rich a life without an imagination.

I know perfectly well that you can't not want anything and live.

That's what perfect means. You're finished.

You have to want something or you're finished.

In order to have a real life of any romance, there has to be a level of fantasy.

I wouldn't underestimate the power of writing a letter.
