When you learn to die, you learn to live.

You don't understand. You're not a wave. You're part of the ocean.

Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it.

What is it about silence that makes people uneasy?

There is no experience like having children...If you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being, and to learn to love and bond in the deepest way, then you should have children.

We have a sense that we should be like the mythical cowboy... able to take on and conquer anything and live in the world without the need for other people.

There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like. In business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe you’re too used to that. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else’s situation as you are about your own.
