The life and passion of a person leave an imprint on the ether of a place. Love does not remain within the heart, it flows out to build secret tabernacles in a landscape.

Real friendship or love is not manufactured or achieved by an act of will or intention. Friendship is always an act of recognition.

Real intimacy is a sacred experience. It never exposes its secret trust and belonging to the voyeuristic eye of a neon culture. Real intimacy is of the soul, and the soul is reserved.

I didn't just grow up in one environment, so it was easy for me, as a child, just to imitate and just be all these different people.

The human soul is not framed for continued proximity, and the result of this enforced neighbourhood is often an appalling loneliness for which the rules of the game forbid assuagement.

Love is the social equivalent of gravity.

Gee, what a terrific party. Later on we'll get some fluid and embalm each other.
