You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play. It’s the playing that’s irresistible. Dicing from one year to the next with the things you love, what you risk reveals what you value.

I did not realize that when money becomes a core value, then education drives towards utility or that the life of the mind will not be counted as good unless it produces measurable results. That public services will no longer be important. That an alternative life to getting and spending will become very difficult as cheap housing disappears. That when communities are destroyed only misery and intolerance are left.

There's no such thing as effortless beauty - you should know that. There's no effort which is not beautiful - lifting a heavy stone or loving you. Loving you is like lifting a heavy stone. It would be easier not to do it and I'm not quite sure why I am doing it. It takes all my strength and all my determination, and I said I wouldn't love someone again like this. Is there any sense in loving someone you can only wake up to by chance?

I dreamed I was a single moment in a single day. A note struck and vanished. A sounding. A reckoning. Gone.

Infatuation.First Love.Lust.My passion can be explained away.But this is sure: Whatever she touches, she reveals

If you should leave me, my heart will turn to water and flood away.

Of course, people will laugh at you, but people laugh at a great many things so there is no need to take it personally.
