“Nothing is built on stone; All is built on sand, but we must build as if the sand were stone.”

“Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.”

“There is a line in Verlaine I shall not recall again,”

“Sometimes, looking at the many books I have at home, I feel I shall die before I come to the end of them, yet I cannot resist the temptation of buying new books.

“Emma dropped the paper. Her first impression was of a weak feeling in her stomach and in her knees; then of blind guilt, of unreality, of coldness, of fear; then she wished that it were already the next day. Immediately afterwards she realized that that wish was futile because the death of her father was the only thing that had happened in the world, and it would go on happening endlessly.”

“Art is the doorway—we just build the room around it.”

“The journey of life will force you to experience closed doors, but beyond those closed doors, there is more.”

“Let people busy saying so, you keep busy doing so:)”

“Recovery is hard. Regret is harder.”

“Learning was a by-product of her search for pleasure”

“There is a path that can lead to open doors. This path is paved by unwavering trust in God. When you trust in Him, He will grant you joy.”
