“The world is full of places to which I want to return”

“There's a place beyond words where experience first occurs to which I always want to return. I suspect that whenever I articulate my thoughts or translate my impulses into words, I am betraying the real thoughts and impulses which remain hidden.”

“The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealised past.”

“There are places from which you cannot return. There is damage that can be irreparable.”

“I realize full well how hard it must be to go on living alone in a place from which someone has left you, but there is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for.”

“Each deity controlled different elements of the world order, so no one god had full control, and which deity was in charge fluctuated over time and place.”
