My love for you tonight is so deep and tender that it seems to be outside myself as well.

You have never been curious about me; you never wanted to explore my soul.

there does seem to me something sad in life. It is hard to say what it is. I don't mean the sorrow that we all know, like illness and poverty and death. No, it is something different. It is there, deep down, deep down, part of one, like one's breathing.

Courage is like a disobedient dog, once it starts running away it flies all the faster for your attempts to recall it.

conversation is like a dear little baby that is brought in to be handed round. You must rock it, nurse it, keep it on the move if you want it to keep smiling.

The truth is friendship is every bit as sacred and eternal as marriage.

By health I mean the power to live a full, adult, living, breathing life in close contact with... the earth and the wonders thereof - the sea - the sun.
