“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.”

“Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”

“Liebe braucht Kontakt, nicht Vermeidung des Kontakt. Die Liebe braucht das Hier und Jetzt der Begegnung. Liebe ist nichts Statisches, sie bedeutet Auseinandersetzung, meint gemeinsames Wachstum, nachdem der Thrill der Verliebtheit vorüber ist. Liebe ist (auch) Arbeit. (Fritz Perls)”

“Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. It's like the tide going out, revealing whatever's been thrown away and sunk: broken bottles, old gloves, rusting pop cans, nibbled fishbodies, bones. This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes, not knowing the future.”
