“Love might have expanded her. But we are not all of us going to get loved. We are not all of us going to get expanded.”

“Love, even that love which is imagined, is sometimes all we have to get us through.”

“Our stories are all we have. The only thing that can save us is to learn each other's stories. From beginning to end....For every life we know, we are expanded.”

“Not all of us need to spend every second of our lives trying to get somewhere other than where we are. Not all of us have to grab the brass ring on the carousel. Some of us just like to go around and enjoy the ride.”

“We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”

“Everything that seemingly happens externally is occurring in order to trigger something within us, to expand us and take us back to who we truly are.”
