زندگی کی راہ میں

“I want to be understood without handing out a manual.”

“I realize now that dying is easy. Living is hard.”

Nothing can be as peaceful and endless as a long winter darkness, going on and on, like living in a tunnel where the dark sometimes deepens into night and sometimes eases to twilight, you’re screened from everything, protected, even more alone than usual. You wait and hide like a tree.

I hope that someday when I am gone, someone somewhere, picks my soul up off of these pages and thinks, "I would have loved her."

““Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know.””
