Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone, his own burdens, his own way.

Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me.

Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem, or saying a prayer.

My passport photo is one of the most remarkable photographs I have ever seen --- no retouching, no shadows, no flattery --- just stark me.

The most exhausting thing you can do is to be inauthentic.

I believe that what woman resents is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly.

Marriage should, I think, always be a little hard and new and strange. It should be breaking your shell and going into another world, and a bigger one.

Him that I love, I wish to be free—even from me.

Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn’t seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
