Each morning I gaze at the eastern horizon, and if the sun keeps its promise, I keep mine.

Take no revenge that you have not pondered beneath a starry sky, or on a canyon overlook, or to the lapping of waves and the mewing of a distant gull.

I like friends who, when you tell them you need a moment alone, know enough not to stray too far.

Yes, I worry about the craziest things, but better me than someone less qualified.

You can think of a painter as a trio - the artist, his talent and his muse, the last two always on the lookout for a new brush man.

What good is love if you never ask anything of it?

In a soulmate we find not company but a completed solitude.
