"The tamer my love, the farther away it is from love. In fierceness, in heat, in longing, in risk, I find something of love's nature. In my desire for you, I burn at the right temperature to walk through love's fire. So when you ask me why I cannot love you more calmly, I answer that to love you calmly is not to love you at all."

Love

"St. Paul said it is better to marry than to burn, but my mother taught me it is better to burn than to marry."

Love

"She was fragile, gentle, wide awake in a sleeping world."

Sensitivity

"I think we still believe that ambition is for boys."

Ambition

"There are only three possible endings -aren't there? - to any story: revenge, tragedy or forgiveness. That's it. All stories end like that."

Storytelling

"I dream of flight, not to be as the angels are, but to rise above the smallness of it all. The smallnesss that I am. Against the daily death the iconography of wings."

Dreams

"The things that I regret in my life are not errors of judgement but failures of feeling."

Regret

"Nowadays people talk about the things he did as though they made sense. As though even his most disastrous mistakes were only the result of bad luck or hubris."

Reality

"You'll get over it. It's the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don't get over it because it is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you, and no one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?"

Loss

"Saddest of all are the woman who were brought up to believe that self-sacrifice is the highest female virtue."
