Life just swallows you up, doesn't it?Just swallows you up with its everyday things

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

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.

To love again, you must not discard what has happened to you, but take from it the strength you'll need to carry on.

The most significant conversations of our lives occur in silence.

I think people would be happier if they admitted things more often. In a sense we are all prisoners of some memory, or fear, or disappointment - we are all defined by something we can’t change.

Actually, years mean nothing. It's what's inside them.
