You can't make anyone love you. You just have to reveal who you are and take your chances. (105)

You win some, you lose some, and your losses are never made up to you. She will simply have to do without; like it or not, she must face her losses and her helplessness to undo them.

I have long trusted dreams as prophetic visions. I do not mean that they foretell the future, only that they illuminate the present, when my eyes are closed, so that I may see clearly.

For a long time now I have trusted my dreaming self as wiser than that waking self whose head is cluttered with reason and practicalities, so busy trying to control things that he sometimes forgets that the heart has reasons that reason does not know. When I dream, I never forget to trust myself.

All significant battles are fought within self.

Sometimes life seems like a poorly designed cage within which man has been sentenced to be free.

One can choose life, or choose death. Having chosen life, I must live it as it is.
