In the end I didn't know who I was crying for, but it was something my body wanted to do, as though trying to digest grief.

The present grows within the boundaries of the past.

If you travel too often, you actually come face-to-face with what you're trying to escape. I feel like when I travel alone, sometimes it's like being locked in a hotel room with my own worst enemy.

Death is the most sophisticated form of beauty, and the most difficult to accept.

Love is also a violence, and cannot be undone.

I read books because I love them, not because I think I should read them.

To love again, you must not discard what has happened to you, but take from it the strength you'll need to carry on.
