I have patience for centuries in me and will live as though my time were very big.

Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.

Truly it is glorious, our being here.

God... sat down for a moment when the dog was finished in order to watch it... and to know that it was good, that nothing was lacking, that it could not have been made better.

Things aren't all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life

The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.

I am too alone in the world and not alone enough to make every moment holy.
