But say you do find the right people - how do you love them without smothering them?...How do you not suffocate them with all the love you've built up in their absence?

I think you can love someone and be infatuated with them, too. But infatuation is immediate, while the sort of love in the West is something you build with someone. It's a trust.

Where are people going? I wonder what they hope will happen and what they are afraid of? For me it's the same thing and has to do with being loved.

Succes is really nothing more than the record of failure. To be successful means you must be willing to fail more than anyone else.

Should you ever feel too lonely...listen for the roar of the sea- for in it are all those who've been and all those who are to come.

For some people, life is the process of knocking through walls to get out. For others, it is the building of walls.

It's true the people we meet shape us. But the people we don't meet shape us also, often more because we have imagined them so vividly. There are people we yearn for but never seem to meet.
