Your lies didn't stop me loving you; your truth hasn't stopped me either.

However strenuously the world pulls us apart, however long the absence, we are not changed for being dashed upon the rocks. I knew you then, I know you now, I shall know you again when you come home.

The world inside myself is vaster and richer than this paltry plane, peopled with mere galaxies and gods.

Heaven has fashioned a knife of irony to stab me with.

I barely noticed loneliness anymore; it was my normal condition, by necessity if not by nature.

I was drawn to his aloofness, the way cats gravitate toward people who’d rather avoid them.
