“لا أعتقد أن في استطاعتي أن أحبك كثيرًا إذا لم يكن هناك شيئًا تشكو منه أو تندم عليه. أن لا أحب الناس التي لم تسقط أو تتعثر أبدًا. فضيلتهم بلا حياة ولا قيمة. الحياة لم تكشف جمالها لهم.”

“There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. A life of good days lived in the senses is not enough. The life of sensation is the life of greed; it requires more and more. The life of the spirit requires less and less; time is ample and its passage sweet. Who would call a day spent reading a good day? But a life spent reading -- that is a good life.”

“There are so many moments to remember and sometimes I think that maybe we're not really people at all. Maybe moments are what we are.... Sometimes I just survive. But sometimes I stand on the rooftop of my existence, arms stretched out, begging for more.”
