“Love makes the greatest pleasures and most sensitive misfortunes of life.”
“I am her tribute. Survival is my gift to her.”
“We can go through our whole lives worrying about our future happiness, and totally miss where true peace lives-right here, right now.”
“An ideology is a complex of ideas or notions which represents itself to the thinker as an absolute truth for the interpretation of the world and his situation within it; it leads the thinker to accomplish an act of self-deception for the purpose of justification, obfuscation and evasion in some sense or other to his advantage.”
“You occupied my space. But because you were not in my present, when I looked into my future I saw . . . nothing. Isn't that sad? And stupid?”
“It is not the finest wood that feeds the fire of Divine love, but the wood of the Cross.”
“Proust has listed a great many reasons why it is impossible to be happy, but, in the course of being happy, one finds it difficult to remember them.”
