“My heart is too bruised and I want to keep the pain as a reminder. I don't want sunlight on it. I don't want it to heal. Because if it does, I might be tempted to use it again.”

“The world is violent and mercurial--it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love--love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love.”

“أن الحب سرٌ غامض لا يفهمه إلا الله، ويجب أن يظل خفيًا عن الأعيان مهما حدث، وإذا تم ذلك فإنه يكون أفضل وأشد قدسية، وسيحترم أحدهما الآخر، بل إن الكثير يتوقف على احترام أحدهما للآخر، وما أن يتحابا، وما أن يتزوجا على أساس ذلك الحب، فلا سبب هنالك يدعو إلى زواله، وإنما باستطاعتهما أن يحافظا عليه بالتأكيد، نادرًا ما يصعب الاحتفاظ بالحب.”

“That message is simple: When you come to one of the many moments in life when you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more, but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing.”
