“Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.”

“Everything is so alive, that I can be alive. Without moving I can see it all. In your life I see everything that lives.”

“Your wide eyes are the only light I know from extinguished constellations.”

“Only do not forget, if I wake up cryingit's only because in my dream I'm a lost childhunting through the leaves of the night for your hands....”
