When I fell in love it was as though I looked into a mirror for the first time and saw myself.

Time is a player. Time is part of today, not simply a measure of its passing.

Love demands expression. It will not stay still, stay silent, be good, be modest, be seen and not heard, no. It will break out in tongues of praise, the high note that smashes the glass and spills the liquid.

The probability of separate worlds meeting is very small. The lure of it is immense. We send starships. We fall in love.

unhappy families are conspiracies of silence. The one who breaks the silence is never forgiven.

I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy.

The key to happiness ... is tolerance of those who do not do as you do.
