“One has to be careful what one takes when one goes away forever.”
“What does one wear when one goes to give one's father hell?”
“If you take care of yourself , you can't carry on at all . But if you take care of your self for some one else , you will be safe forever .”
“No one should live forever," I whisper. "Isn't that how it goes? There must be a balance. No birth without death. No life without tears. What is taken from the world must be given back. No one should live forever, but should give his blood to the river when the time comes so that tomorrow another may live. And so it goes.”
“Progress takes away what forever took to find, the dreaming tree has died.”
“There is not one moment when that feeling of inadequate sorrow goes away. It just lessens and lessens, until it is mostly a memory of itself.”
