And the more you love someone, the safer it is to be mad at them. Love can handle mad, no problem.
Jerry SpinelliIn every age there are plenty of people around to remind you what you cannot possibly do. Thank goodness, for these naysayers provide a priceless service: They spur...us to achieve great things.
Jerry SpinelliIโll still be missing you as much as ever. Iโl still smile at the memory of you. Iโll still be - Okay, Iโll say it again - loving you, but I wonโt abandon myseld for you. I cannot be faithful to you without being faithful to myself.
Jerry SpinelliIโm erased. Iโm gone. Iโm nothing. And then the world is free to flow into me like water into an empty bowlโฆ. Andโฆ I see. I hear. But not with eyes and ears. Iโm not outside my world anymore, and Iโm not really inside it either. The thing is, thereโs no difference between me and the universe. The boundary is gone. I am it and it is me. I am a stone, a cactus thorn. I am rain. I like that most of all, being rain.
