Dreamers conquered the world long ago.

Children are the closest we have to wisdom and they become adults the moment that final drop of everything mysterious is strained from them.

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.

I don’t see the point of truth anymore, it causes just as much heartbreak as lying.

We touched with a softness that pushed through the skin into memory, like arms plunged into a river - we could feel the weight of each other's stones.

I want to do things for people they will never forget. Maybe that’s the best thing I can do in life.

If there is such a thing as marriage, it takes place long before the ceremony; in a car on the way to the airport; or as a gray bedrooms fills with dawn, one lover watching the other; or as two strangers stand together in the rain with no bus in sight, arms weighed down with shopping bags. You don't know then. But later you realize - that was the moment.
