Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you.

I think after you live it's like before you lived.

Life is scarier than death.

That’s all anyone wants from anyone else, not love itself but the knowledge that love is there.

The French, who love their dogs, sometimes eat their horses. The Spanish, who love their horses, sometimes eat their cows. The Indians, who love their cows, sometimes eat their dogs.

Everyone is always in need of something that another person can give, be it undivided attention, a kind word or deep empathy. There is no better use of a life than to be attentive to such needs.

I thought for a minute, and then I got heavy, heavy boots.
