Truth is what is true, and it's not necessarily factual. Truth and fact are not the same thing. Truth does not contradict or deny facts, but it goes through and beyond facts. This is something that it is very difficult for some people to understand. Truth can be dangerous.

It is the ability to choose which makes us human.

I looked at this tiny, perfect creature and it was as though a light switch had been turned on. A great rush of love flooded out of me.

As human beings, the closest we can get to truth is through story.

Love can't be pinned down by a definition, and it certainly can't be proved, any more than anything else important in life can be proved.

A book comes and says, 'Write me.' My job is to try to serve it to the best of my ability, which is never good enough, but all I can do is listen to it, do what it tells me and collaborate.

You're going to get hurt yourself, and badly, if you take everything so hard.
