Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else." Then let's be quiet together.

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

We are not mad. We are human.We want to love, and someone must forgive us for the paths we take to love, for the paths are many and dark, and we are ardent and cruel in our journey.

I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.

I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere.

I wish I could say everything in one word. I hate all the things that can happen between the beginning of a sentence and the end.

We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In love we disappear.

May you be surrounded by friends and family, and if this is not your lot, may the blessings find you in your solitude.

We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.

You live your life as if it's real.......a thousand kisses deep

Reality is one of the possibilities I cannot afford to ignore

This moment is our greatest treasure. We cannot replay the past events. We have no control over future events.

On the one hand, there are individual actions such as throwing, pushing, touching, rubbing. It is these individual actions that give rise most of the time to abstraction from objects.

What matters is how well we have loved, and what small part we have played in making the lives around us better.

Concentrate on each task, whether trivial or crucial, as if it's the only thing that matters.

I find nothing so singular to life as that everything appears to lose its substance the instant one actually grapples with it.

Activity does not necessarily mean life.

Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others.
