Love is short, forgetting is long, and understanding longer still.

Our strength is in our dreams, and those who do not dare to dream damn themselves.

One can never change the past, only the hold it has on you, and while nothing in your life is reversible, you can reverse it nevertheless.

The conflict between what one is and who one is expected to be touches all of us. And sometimes, rather than reach for what one could be, we choose the comfort of the failed role, preferring to be the victim of circumstance, the person who didn't have a chance.

There are problems connected with infidelity and problems connected with being faithful at any cost, and I am for letting those concerned choose the problems they'd prefer. There need not be one rule for all. Infidelity is enlarging and fragmenting and very very dangerous, but it has been known to retrieve people as well as marriages, so it can't be only bad.

Each of us is a seed, a silent promise, and it is always Spring.

One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment.
