It was at that age that poetry came in search of me.

He who does not travel, who does not read, who does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself, she who does not find grace in herself, dies slowly.

If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life

Love is not about property, diamonds and gifts. It is about sharing your very self with the world around you.

In one kiss, you'll know all I haven't said.

To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.

Every day you play with the light of the universe.

Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.

And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us.

If each day falls inside each night, there exists a well where clarity is imprisoned. We need to sit on the rim of the well of darkness and fish for fallen light with patience.

The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.

For nothing is evil in the beginning.

I think the scariest person in the world is the person with no sense of humor.

Never, never have a famous partner. It's too complicated.

I have never made any secret of any of my thoughts or areas of interest. I've always been honest, open, and upfront

There are no more thorough prudes than those who have some little secret to hide.

Pretending the past doesn't exist is as bad as living in it.

I've concentrated for a long time on English films because I've got two kids but my oldest son is 11 and I think I'm going to be away for about four months of year now.

If we're not able to be alone, we're going to be more lonely. And if we don't teach our children to be alone, they're only going to know how to be lonely.

Nothing comes amiss, so money comes withal.
