“Ενώ σ’ εκείνη απονέμεται δίπλωμα στην τέχνη του έρωτα, αυτός κυκλοφορεί με μια γραμματική για αρχαρίους στην τσέπη”

“I would describe myself like a landscape I’ve studied at length, in detail; like a word I’m coming to understand; like a pitcher I pour from at mealtime; like my mother’s face; like a ship that carried me when the waters raged.”

“O shooting starthat fell into my eyes and through my body-:not to forget you. To endure.”

“For here there is no placethat does not see you. You must change your life.”

“I love the dark hours of my being.My mind deepens into them.There I can find, as in old letters,the days of my life, already lived,and held like a legend, and understood.”

“I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

“For there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.”
