Intentions, good or bad, are not enough. There's luck or fate or something else that takes over.

..it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world...It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel.

All great and precious things are lonely.

Eventlessness has no posts to drape duration on. From nothing to nothing is no time at all.

With a few exceptions people don't want money. They want luxury and they want love and they want admiration.

The fields were fruitful, and starving men moved on the roads.

To be alive at all is to have scars.
