But time, as well as healing all wounds, taught me something strange too: that it's possible to love more than one person in a lifetime. I remarried. I'm very happy with my new wife, and I can't imagine living without her. This, however, doesn't mean that I have to renounce all my past experiences, as long as I'm careful not to compare my two lives. You can't measure love the way you can the length of a road or the height of a building.

There are moments in life when we need to trust blindly in intuition

... I simply accept that technology is stronger and more powerful than me: it works when it wants to, and when it doesn't its best to go for a walk, and just wait until the cables and telephone links are in a better mood and the computer decides to work again. I am not, I have discovered, my computers master: it has a life of its own.

If you are never alone you cannot know yourself. And if you do not know yourself, you will begin to fear the void.

I'm afraid of taking steps that are not on the map, but by taking those steps despite my fears, I have a much more interesting life.

Our great goal in life is to love. The rest is silence.

Courage is the first spiritual quality that you need to have.
