Les corps des hommes ont des formes avares, internées.

إن سعادة إنسان ما ، لا تعني بالضرورة تعاسة الآخرين

The truth is, we usually only show our unhappiness to another woman. I suppose this is one of our problems. And yet it is also one of our strengths.

I remove my wedding rings and put them in the jewelry box. So many others have done this. I am not the only one. I am not the only one. But here, I am the only one.

For all that we might be, if only we'd let ourselves.

People like to be addressed specificlly, it makes them important.

I felt myself trapped in line for a ride I was not nearly ready for, looking back but moving forward in the only direction I could go.

I thought of the priest who'd told me that many religions hold that it is easier to be closely connected to people we love after death than before.

Never be afraid of doing the thing you know in your heart is right, even if others don't agree.

If you see a sunset and try to describe it to someone in normal words, all you can say is, 'Boy, I saw a great sunset last night.' But if you are a poet, you give it to someone to feel for themselves. Like you make a little seed of what you saw, they swallow it, and it blooms again inside their own hearts.

You know before you know, of course. You are bending over the dryer, pulling out the still-warm sheets, and the knowledge walks up your backbone. You stare at the man you love and you are staring at nothing; he is gone before he is gone.
