Friends do everything they can to protect each other." --Polly

I think that all artists, regardless of degree of talent, are a painful, paradoxical combination of certainty and uncertainty, of arrogance and humility, constantly in need of reassurance, and yet with a stubborn streak of faith in their own validity no matter what.

A self is not something static, tied up in a pretty parcel and handed to the child, finished and complete. A self is always becoming.

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.

It's a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet, and what is sand.

As far as I'm concerned, there is only one absolute: God is love.

Love isn't how you feel. It's what you do.
