Absolution is not the same as understanding.

For the first time in my life, I felt the pain of missing people I had not yet left.

How wonderful to be read to. To be carried from this world and into another, born away on words.

The heart, once broken, stayed broken.

What is left when there is no love? A rope and rock.

City of memories, city of mirrors.

All stories end when they have returned to their beginnings.

What is home but a place where you are truly known?

So, at the last, a story.

Behind every great hatred is a love story.

It was like leading people to the edge of a cliff, showing them the view, and then shoving them off.

Grief is an amputation, but hope is incurable haemophilia: you bleed and bleed and bleed. Like Schrödinger’s cat inside a box you can never ever open.

The one who deals the mortal blow receives the mortal wound.

I want a house that has got over all its troubles I don't want to spend the rest of my life bringing up a young and inexperienced house.

What can we know? What are we all? Poor silly half-brained things peering out at the infinite, with the aspirations of angels and the instinct of beasts.

We approach closer and closer to socialism.

Unless you're one of the first Americans, a Native American, you came from someplace else. Somebody brought you.

Few sports has as great a disparity between the time committed in practice and time actually spent in game or race conditions.

Whatever. Great day. Today. Best day of my life.

People say the Internet's made of cats. The reason isn't because of cats; it's because people like to have an emotion where they say 'aww' all at the same time.

The world we live in is a house on fire and the people we love are burning.
