I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Love, the poet said, is woman's whole existence.
First a warning, musical; then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air.
I want to love you without clutching, appreciate you without judging, join you without invading, invite you without demanding, leave you without guilt, criticize you without blaming, and help you without insulting. If I can have the same from you, then we can truly meet and enrich each other.
Sometimes when I look at my children I say to myself, "Lillian, you should have stayed a virgin."
Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.
I knew her before she was a virgin.
What does the brain matter compared with the heart?
There is nothing like a newborn baby to renew your spirit - and to buttress your resolve to make the world a better place.
