In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us.

---

I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.

---

A light here required a shadow there.

---

One must learn to be silent just as one must learn to talk.

---

I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.

---

How many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn’t pull the trigger?

---

Just in case you ever foolishly forget; I'm never not thinking of you

---

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.

---

How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.

---

Love had a thousand shapes.
