You grow weary of being treated as the enemy simply because you are not young anymore; because you dress unexceptionally.

You cannot find peace by avoiding life, Leonard.

Perhaps, in the extravagance of youth, we give away our devotions easily and all but arbitrarily, on the mistaken assumption that we’ll always have more to give.

What I want to say is that I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. Everything is gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been.

Dear Leonard. To look life in the face. Always to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it. To love it for what it is, and then, to put it away. Leonard. Always the years between us. Always the years. Always the love. Always the hours.

Oh, all you immigrants and visionaries, what do you hope to find here, who do you hope to become?

But there are still the hours, aren't there? One and then another, and you get through that one and then, my god, there's another.
