 The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea. |
| For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair. |
| The punctuation of anniversaries is terrible, like the closing of doors, one after another between you and what you want to hold on to. |
| Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces. |
| The loneliness you get by the sea is personal and alive. It doesn't subdue you and make you feel abject. It's stimulating loneliness. |
| Those fields of daisies we landed on, and dusty fields and desert stretches. Memories of many skies and earths beneath us - many days, many nights of stars. |
| I feel we are all islands - in a common sea. |
| If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments. |
| Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after. |
| I believe that what woman resents is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly. |
| Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all. |
