Cap ou pas Cap?

To me, literature is a calling, even a kind of salvation. It connects me with an enterprise that is over 2,000 years old. What do we have from the past? Art and thought. That’s what lasts.

Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone, except to ask for dinner or coffee. And it has been like that from the beginning.

We put the month first because in conversation we say, “July 1st, 2015.” Because it’s quicker than “The first of July, 2015.”

Sorrow is how we learn to love. Your heart isn’t breaking. It hurts because it’s getting larger. The larger it gets, the more love it holds.

People fall in and out of love all the time, and sometimes people have numerous loves throughout their lives. But you have two epic loves and no matter who you were with, I don’t think you’d ever get over or forget the other.

I didn’t realize until those few days how much a hug meant. To have someone hold you could be the greatest medicine of all.

Please don’t, above all, plant me in your heart. I grow too quick.

I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t do anything but think about him. At night I dream of him, all day I wait to see him, and when I do see him my heart turns over and I think I will faint with desire.

The best love is usually your best friend who knows you for you.
