“The Awakening
You live this sheltered life
glass walls around you
in a fragile world
of other people’s imagination
and one day
something comes and shake you—
a book, an idea
a person, a song,
or an incident—
and it awakens you to life
and what it means to live really
and so
you know
how
to save
the only life
you are capable of saving—
your own”

“It wasn’t an unhappy marriage? Could a marriage be happy, standing on a shaky ground of adultery and a disregard for the wife’s feelings? He didn’t say anything; he listened to her quietly.”

“Being rich and powerful does that to you. You don’t get a chance to offer any clarification because people dare not ask you a thing. They would prefer to hear someone else’s half truth, then make up the other half, and then whisper a twisted version in someone else’s ear. The whole matter gets distorted in no time, so much so, that it no longer resembles the actual facts.”
