“Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as a secret to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.”

Garages, barns, and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.

Your body will never be familiar.

Dear Hitler Take away the torches I’m not guilty I had to have this.

It is in love that we are made, in love we disappear.

Blessed is the covenant of love, the covenant of mercy, useless light behind the terror, deathless song in the house of night.

My reputation as a ladies’ man was a joke that caused me to laugh bitterly through the ten thousand nights I spent alone.

A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.

I’m just waiting for the miracle to come.

You go your way I’ll go your way too.

Dream after dream we all lie in each other’s arms.

To discover the truth in anything that is alien, first dispense with the indispensable in your own vision.

Games are nature’s most beautiful creation.

I told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you.

We are ugly but we have the music.

I’ve forgotten most of what I’ve read and, frankly, it never seemed very important to me or to the world.

As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!

Let children walk with nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life.

Few things make the life of a parent more rewarding and sweet as successful children.

Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.

This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.

And you know, the people who hate kids and don’t want kids always end up having 50 of them.
