“Ik denk: ik wil begrijpen wat de liefde is, onthouden dat dat alles is, of toch bijna. Ik wil redden wat er te redden valt, mijzelf bijvoorbeeld, ik wil weten wat ik waard ben, kiezen voor wat klopt en goed is, geloven dat dat mag. Ik denk: dat is het, ik wil durven, eindelijk. Ja.”

“If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.”

“Sometimes it seems unfair that events so old can reach forward through the years, sinking claws into one's life and twisting all that follows it.

“And I thought about how, actually, if you wanted to, you could say the same thing about life. That life is terrifying and overwhelming and it can happen at any moment. And when you’re confronted with life you can either be cowardly or you can be brave, but either way you’re going to live. So you might as well be brave.”
