"Definitions are vital starting points for the imagination. What we cannot imagine cannot come into being. A good definition marks our starting point and lets us know where we want to end up. As we move toward our desired destination we chart the journey, creating a map. We need a map to guide us on our journey to love--starting with the place where we know what we mean when we speak of love."

Writing
"Sadness and boredom were more bearable than the effort of living a normal life. Perhaps the idea of death began to hover over her during that period, as a kind of higher order of lassitude in which she would not have to move the blood in her veins or the air in her lungs; her repose would be absolute- not to think, not to feel, not to be."
Sadness
"Fear is inevitable, I have to accept that, but I cannot allow it to paralyze me."

Virtue

Regret
"Silence before being born, silence after death: life is nothing but noise between two unfathomable silences."
Silence
"The two moments are much alike: birth and death are made of the same fabric."

"But I don't want more things than I need, either."
