What is remembered is not a deed in stone but a metaphor. Meta = above. Pheren = to carry. That which is carried above the literalness of life. A way of thinking that avoids the problems of gravity. The word won't let me down. The single word that can release me from all that unuttered weight.

No emotion is the final one.

One thing I am certain of, I do not want to be betrayed, but thats quite hard to say casually, at the beginning of a relationship. It’s not a word people use very often, which confuses me, because there are different kinds of infidelity, but betrayal is betrayal wherever you find it. By betrayal, I mean promising to be on your side, and then being on somebody else’s.

Slightest accidents open up new worlds.

The truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the Titanic you go down.

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

To me, life, for all its privations, is a luminous thing. You have to risk it.
