“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

"It's not the weight you carry but how you carry it— books, bricks, grief—it's all in the way you embrace it, balance it, carry it when you cannot, and would not, put it down." So I went practicing. Have you noticed? Have you heard the laughter that comes, now and again, out of my startled mouth? How I linger to admire, admire, admire the things of this world that are kind, and maybe also troubled—roses in the wind, the sea geese on the steep waves, a love to which there is no reply?

“The only relationship that can make both partners happy is one in which sentimentality has no place and neither partner makes any claim on the life and freedom of the other.”
