The most significant conversations of our lives occur in silence.

I want to feel it somehow happened like that because things happen for a reason. I want to believe this more than anything because if it were just an accident, then God must have died before he could finish the world.

Athens is the birthplace of modern tragedy. In the Greek tragic plays, the tableau of the characters would become a statue, like the statue of Oedipus reaching up to the Gods with blood spilling out of his eyes. I love the way the Greeks would immortalize experience. Things that all of us feel.

Every moment is the paradox of now or never.

There are some lies that, under the right circumstances, are the only truth

Language is like drinking from one's own reflection in still water. We only take from it what we are at the time.
