"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps, with perfect sweetness, the independence of solitude."

"these fragments i have shored against my ruins."

"for now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am now."

-1 Corinthians 13:12

"A person who has good thoughts cannot ever by ugly…if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

"If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows.The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water."

"A kind of light spread out from her. and everything changed color. And the world opened out. and a day was good to awaken to. and there were no limits to anything. and the people of the world were good and handsome. and i was not afraid anymore."

"Tell me what's the difference between hope and waiting because my heart doesn't know it constantly cuts itself on the glass of waiting

it constantly gets lost in the fog of hope."

"I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life."

"If you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves."

"The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea."

"I also painted a study of a seascape, nothing but a bit of sand, sea, sky, grey and lonely- sometimes I feel a need for that silence- where there's nothing but the grey sea- with an occasional seabird. But otherwise, no other voice than the murmer of the waves."

“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.”

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."
