“Neither sugar nor salt tastes particularly good by itself. Each is at its best when used to season other things. Love is the same way. Use it to "season" people.”

“How much salt water thrown away in wasteTo season love, that of it doth not taste.”

“it's a good thing I'm used to this;the process of shutting things outas they fall apart,the pretence of coolin a dry, hot season,the taste of redemptionin a t.v. screen if God had a voicewhat would it say?”

“Change itself is neither good nor bad, but knowledge is always useful.”

“Tonight I can smell the season the way it's usually only possible to at the very first moments of its return, before you're used to it, when you've forgotten its smell, then there it is back in the air and the flow of things shifting and resettling again.”

“To accept one’s past – one’s history – is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.”
