- We are all more intelligent than we are capable, and awareness of the insanity of love has never saved anyone from the disease.
- It is in books, poems, paintings which often give us the confidence to take seriously feelings in ourselves that we might otherwise never have thought to acknowledge.
- Not being understood may be taken as a sign that there is much in one to understand.
- What we seek, at the deepest level, is inwardly to resemble, rather than physically to possess, the objects and places that touch us through their beauty.
- It was no longer her absence that wounded me, but my growing indifference to it. Forgetting, however calming, was also a reminder of infidelity to what I had at one time held so dear.
