Absence becomes the greatest Presence.

gardening is a madness, a folly that does not go away with age. Quite the contrary.

Lunches are just not good. They take the heart out of the day and the spaciousness from the morning's work.

There is a proper balance between not asking enough of oneself and asking or expecting too much.

One does not "find oneself" by pursuing one's self, but on the contrary by pursuing something else and learning through discipline or routine. . . who one is and wants to be.

It is always hard to hear the buried truth from another person.

People who cannot feel punish those who do.
