Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no re... - Anaïs Nin

"Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country."

"What I cannot love, I overlook."

"The role of a writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say."

"If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it."

"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect."
