You are the sum total of everything you've seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot- it's all right there.

I know something better is on the road for me.

We can learn to see each other and see ourselves in each other and recognize that human beings are more alike than we are unalike.

Moderation in all things. And even moderation in moderation. Don't get too much moderation, you know?

Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.

You dwell in whitened castles with deep and poisoned moats and cannot hear the curses which fill your children's throats.

If I'm here, I'll be trying to be a better human being, a better writer, a better friend and a better beloved.
