"Hereâ€™s my mantra: â€˜Every mile is a gift.â€™"

“In my sex fantasy, nobody ever loves me for my mind.”
“There is a soul-jealousy that can be as frantic as any body-jealousy.”
“At every moment where language can't go, that's your mind.”
“We are in an extremely dangerous situation. It was ignorant and ahistorical for Donald Trump to say that the EU will dissolve. He is a man of very little historical understanding. For example, when he accused his own intelligence community of using Nazi tactics against him, he was actually confusing the Nazis with East Germany's secret police, the Stasi. Trump also has no idea that for 70 years, it has been U.S. policy to support those who want to unite Europe. It is very dangerous that he is turning his back on Europe now.”

“Pride and entitlement always go with unforgiveness. The longer you hold someone's offense over them, the more likely you are to start feeling arrogant and entitled to your posture toward him.”
“Not to discriminate every moment some passionate attitude in those about us, and in the very brilliancy of their gifts some tragic dividing of forces on their ways, is, on this short day of frost and sun, to sleep before evening. With this sense of the splendour of our experience and of its awful brevity, gathering all we are into one desperate effort to see and touch, we shall hardly have time to make theories about the things we see and touch.”

“I have never been a critic of science fiction as a whole.”
“Maybe that's why people have friends at all. Not because they like them so much but because they don't make them feel so much worse.”
