Love isn't how you feel. It's what you do. I've never had a feeling in my life. As a matter of fact, I matter only with earth people.

I'm apt to get drunk on words...Ontology: the word about the essence of things; the word about being.

I have never lived before...Until this summer, I did not know what it was to be alive.

I would like to travel light on this journey of life, to get rid of the encumbrances I acquire each day.

what I must learn is to love with all of me, giving all of me, and yet remain whole in myself. Any other kind of love is too demanding of the other; it takes, rather than gives. To love so completely that you lose yourself in another person is not good. You are giving a weight, not the sense of lightness and light that loving someone should give.

We do not have to understand in order to believe that behind the mystery and the fascination there is love.

Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it.
