I like people who possess either deep mastery or deep empathy, but not as much as I like those who possess both.

If you think something's happened quickly, you're looking at only a part of it.

You can't learn from remembering. You can't learn from guessing. You can learn only from moving forward at the rate you are moved, as brightness into brightness.

Around you move many seas. It is impossible not to drown a little.

My existence shrank from an arrow of light pointing into the future forever to a speck of light that was the present moment. I got better at living in that point of light, making the world into that point. I paid close attention to it. I loved it very much.

I like people who possess either deep mastery or deep empathy, but not as much as I like those who possess both.

The best thing about time passing is the privilege of running out of it, of watching the wave of mortality break over me and everyone I know.
