“Longing, we say, because desire is full of endless distances.”

“After a while I understood that, talking this way, everything dissolves: justice, pine, hair, woman, you and I. There was a woman I made love to and I remembered how, holding her small shoulders in my hands sometimes, I felt a violent wonder at her presence like a thirst for salt, for my childhood river with its island willows, silly music from the pleasure boat, muddy places where we caught the little orange-silver fish called pumpkinseed. It hardly had to do with her. Longing, we say, because desire is full of endless distances.”

“I don't cry because we've been separated by distance, and for a matter of years. Why? Because for as long as we share the same sky and breathe the same air, we're still together.”

“A wise beautiful lake never desires to be famous, because fame dirty it! To remain pure, distance yourself from the reputation!”

“During the long stretches of quiet two-lane highway, with the sunsetting in the distance, it wassomehow easier to say things aloud, and regardless of what was said, we justkept moving toward thathorizon.”
