The free man never thinks of escape.

If I let them take away my demons, I'll have to give up what I've found.

I miss God. I miss the company of someone utterly loyal. I still don't think of God as my betrayer. The servants of God, yes, but servants by their very nature betray. I miss God who was my friend. I don't even know if God exists, but I do know that if God is your emotional role model, very few human relationships will match up to it.

I have a list of titles that I leave at the [library] desk, because they are bound to be written some day, and it's best to be ahead of the queue.

When I look at my life I realise that the mistakes I have made, the things I really regret, were not errors of judgement but failures of feeling.

Wherever love is, I want to be, I will follow it as surely as the land-locked salmon finds the sea.

The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
