Naked is the best disguise.

For me, the most painful thing is the thought of shelves without books. This is the problem with the digital thing. I do not want to see it on electronic. I do not want to see all of those indices on Kindle. I don't want this physical object to disappear, because when it's there and it's present, it's continually suggesting new relationships in a way that an electronic index couldn't.

I think of love as a force of nature-as strog as the sun, as necessary, as impersonal, as gigantic, as impossible, as scorching as it is warming,as drought-making as it is life-giving.

My friends and the people who are close to me know what I am. And that is enough.

What's invisible to us is also crucial for our own well-being.

Why is the measure of love loss?

The world is surely wide enough to walk without fear.
