there is no sin punished more implacably by nature than the sin of resistance to change.

No American can understand the need for time -- that is, simply space to breathe. If you have ten minutes to spare you should jam that full instead of leaving it -- as space around your next ten minutes. How can anything ripen without those 'empty' ten minutes?

A note of music gains significance from the silence on either side.

Go with the pain, let it take you. Open your palms and your body to the pain. It comes in waves like the tide and you must be open as a vessel lying on the beach, letting it fill you up and then, retreating, leaving you empty and clear.

Love is a force.... It is not a result it is a cause. It is not a product it produces.

How hard it is to have the beautiful interdependence of marriage and yet be strong in oneself alone.

It is only framed in space that beauty blooms only in space are events, and objects and people unique and significant and therefore beautiful.

I can conceive of 'falling in love' over and over again. But 'marriage,' this richness of life itself, I cannot conceive of having again - or with anyone else. In this sense 'marriage' seems to me indissoluble.

Woman must come of age by herself... She must find her true center alone.
