“The people we love are usually stronger than we give them credit for. It is the nature of love, perhaps, to want to shoulder all the pain rather than see the loved one suffer. But sometimes pain is better than emptiness. I have been so empty Kit. All my life. So full of emptiness. That is strange paradox is nit not - full of emptiness?”

Anne's House of Dreams
“We should be empty of clutching, empty of self, empty of all the old ideas of substance.

Life lived like that is ‘eternal’ life.”
