“I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.”

““It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.””

“It’s not the load that breaks you down. It’s the way you carry it.”

“One of the most healing things you can do is recognize where in your life you are your own poison.”

“…submerged in the velvety depths of night.”

“Nobody can build the bridge for you to walk across the river of life, no one but you yourself alone. There are, to be sure, countless paths and bridges and demigods which would carry you across this river; but only at the cost of yourself; you would pawn yourself and lose. There is in this world only one way, on which nobody can go, except you: where does it lead? Do not ask, go along with it.”
