“The world waits for you with all its beauty, but also its frights and its pain.”

“I have lived this life, and no matter what others may decide about it, I must claim each decision as mine. I have caused harm, failed in the expectations and obligations of love. I have loved well. What I do each day is carried within me until I die. ”

“The past lies beneath the surface, intransigent truth. Remembered or not, what we say and do remains, always.”

“I didn't make this plan. I just wake up sometimes and want to crawl out of my life.”

“The lights come on and my future returns in the glare.”

“You are...beyond my imagination. It's a wonder you can be touched at all.”

“The world hid its head in the sands of convention, so that by seeing nothing it might avoid Truth. ”
