Warm, eager, living life-to be rooted in life-to learn, to desire, to know, to feel, to think, to act. This is what I want. And nothing less. That is what I must try for.

Some couples go over their budgets very carefully every month. Others just go over them.

The mind I love must have wild places.

It is strange that there are times when I feel the stars are not at all solemn: they are secretly gay.

To long for everything: sorrow; to accept everything: joy.

In fact, isn't it a joy - there is hardly a greater one - to find a new book, a living book, and to know that it will remain with you while life lasts?

It's a terrible thing to be alone - yes it is - it is - but don't lower your mask until you have another mask prepared beneath - as terrible as you like - but a mask.
