"Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them,"I said."Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway."
"You do not immortalize the lost by writing about them. Language buries, but does not resurrect."
"Witness also that when we talk about literature, we do so in the present tense. When we speak of the dead, we are not so kind."
"My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations."
