Love requires imagination more than experience.

I didn’t know who she was, but I had this fire inside me for someone I knew existed.

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.

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

The present grows within the boundaries of the past.

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

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.
