“Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with thoseThat loved me, and alone”

“I cannot rest from travel; I will drink Life to the lees.”

“This is why I'm here on this planet, at this time, Francesca. Not to travel or make pictures, but to love you. I know that now. I have been falling from the rim of a great, high place, somewhere back in time, for many more years than I have lived in this life. And through all of those years, I have been falling toward you.”

“What am I to do on this earth? The choice rests with me: suffer or enjoy. Whither will suffering lead me? To nothingness; but I shall have suffered. Whither will enjoyment lead me? To nothingness; but I will have enjoyed myself.”

“Then it comes to me. It cannot be that this is the first time I realized this, but it is. We all have ugly parts.

We see our ugly parts, and then we are able to forgive, love kindness, walk humbly.”
