Every day is a masterpiece, even if it crushes you.

Coincidences mean you're on the right path.

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.

Everything that we love will, at some point, be taken away from us. If I think about everyone I love eventually being taken away from me by death, or simply by getting lost from each other in the world, it makes me value them much more now. And I'm much less likely to be indifferent. For me, indifference is the end of life.

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.

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?

It's tempting to imagine how we could hurt someone close, because it reminds us how fiercely we love them.
