“We have not yet arrived, but every point at which we stop requires a re-definition of our destination.”

“We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected.”

“Without stories we would go mad. Life would lose its moorings or lose its orientations. even in silence we are living our stories”

“If we could be pure dancers in spirit we would never be afraid to love, and we would love with strength and wisdom.”

“a dream can be the highest point of a life”

“This earth that we live on is full of stories in the same way that, for a fish, the ocean is full of ocean. Some people say when we are born we’re born into stories. I say we’re also born from stories.”

“I mean we desperately wanted to be in love with something or other. We were lonely people. It seemed more sensible to fall in love with another person who also wanted to fall in love, than to love a chair or a cat or an idea.”
