“Everything in life, is a question of drawing a life, John, and you have to decide for yourself where to draw it. You cant draw it for others. You can try, of course, but it doesn’t work. People obeying rules laid down my somebody else is not the same thing as respecting life. And if you want to respect life, you have to draw a line.”

I am wounded with tenderness for all who labored / in dim rooms with their handful of words, / battering their full hearts against the moon.

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.
