Love is also a violence, and cannot be undone.

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.

I think anyone can fall in love, if you're open and you're willing, but the real test is sustaining it after all the excitement has worn off.

Love is also a violence, and cannot be undone.

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

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

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