Universal truths have become an embarrassment, but they won't quite go away.
Duty is whatever opposes inclination.
The madness of love can always be suspended--to cook dinner or catch a plane, for instance.

My love grows wide and shallow in an effort to spread my losses.
Travelling carries me to the surface, away from the deeps of home-thoughts.
