the Drowned and the Saved

Promise you won't forget me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred.

Children almost always hang onto things tighter than their parents think they will

Some people care too much. I think it's called love.

I used to believe in forever, but forever's too good to be true.

There is nothing else than now. There is neither yesterday, certainly, nor is there any tomorrow. How old must you be before you know that? There is only now, and if now is only two days, then two days is your life and everything in it will be in proportion. This is how you live a life in two days. And if you stop complaining and asking for what you never will get, you will have a good life. A good life is not measured by any biblical span.

It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.

Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance.

In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.

I loved you when I saw you today and I loved you always but I never saw you before.
