“I'm visualizing the letters that make up your name, but my brain has written it in Courier and the font size is too small and I feel irritated by it.”

Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.

“Looking at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots representing towns and villages on a map.
Why, I ask myself, shouldn’t the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?

So to me it seems possible that cholera, tuberculosis and cancer are the celestial means of locomotion. Just as steamboats, buses and railways are the terrestrial means.
To die quietly of old age would be to go there on foot.”
