Shyness has laws you can only give yourself; tragically to those who least understand.

It is not peace we seek but meaning.

Every man is made of clay and diamond, and no woman can nourish both.

I don’t believe one reads to escape reality. A person reads to confirm a reality he knows is there, but which he has not experienced.

Shyness has laws you can only give yourself; tragically to those who least understand.

But I love to feel events overlapping each other, crawling over one another like wet crabs in a basket

A city becomes a world when one loves one of its inhabitants.
