“I've been in love for five hundred million years…”
― Italo Calvino, Cosmicomics

“I have told the story I was asked to tell. I have closed it, as so many stories close, with a joining of two people. What is one man's and one woman's love and desire, against the history of two worlds, the great revolutions of our lifetimes, the hope, the unending cruelty of our species? A little thing. But a key is a little thing, next to the door it opens. If you lose the key, the door may never be unlocked. It is in our bodies that we lose or begin our freedom, in our bodies that we accept or end our slavery. So I wrote this book for my friend, with whom I have lived and will die free.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Four Ways to Forgiveness

“The common error of ordinary religious practice is to mistake the symbol for the reality, to look at the finger pointing the way and then to suck it for comfort rather than follow it.”
― Alan Watts

“She was a mirror that did not lie; whose interest in me was real; whose love was real.”
― John Fowles, The Magus
