I thought: pity the poor in spirit who know neither the enchantment nor the beauty of language.

Personally I think that grammar is a way to attain beauty.

We think we can make honey without sharing in the fate of bees, but we are in truth nothing but poor bees, destined to accomplish our task and then die.

We can be friends. We can be anything we want to be.

If you have but one friend, make sure you choose her well.

To be poor, ugly and, moreover, intelligent condemns one in our society to a dark and disillusioned life...to beauty all is forgiven.

So if there is something on the planet that is worth living for, I'd better not miss it, because once you're dead, it's too late for regrets, and if you die by mistake, that is really, really dumb.

Entrusting one's life is not the same as opening up one's soul.

I'm afraid to go into myself and see what's going on in there.

Because beauty consits of it's own passing, just as we reach for it. It's the ephemeral configuration of things in the moment, when you can see both their movement and their death.

I suddenly felt my spirit expand, for I was capable of grasping the utter beauty of the trees.

Sometimes, when people look at me, I can see the pity in their eyes. All I want is hope, but neither of us can give it to each other.

Perhaps a book becomes a classic in proportion to how broadly its characters can be scavenged, how many readers find within it something they experience as desirable or even intimately necessary.

I can cross my arms and I can cross my legs, but nothing seems to cross my mind.

Show me a girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground and I'll show you a girl who can't put her pants on.-Annik Marchand

She hated anyone who clung to the supernatural when the natural was perfectly serviceable.

Dulcie always found a public library a little upsetting, for one saw so many odd people there.

I don't think it's natural for two people to swear to be together for the rest of their lives.

The kids who come backstage that have cancer or whatever, make them laugh and smile for a little while, what's the problem with that? There isn't any.

I was surprised, but I always say nothing surprises me in football.

I really rebel against authority.
