If I began to drawmyself away from youwe’d still be liketwo mixed colors of paintimpossible to separate.

The splendid thingabout falling apartsilently...is thatyou can start overas many timesas you like.

With callused handsi tastedthe softness of the moonin the coldest windsi discoveredmy soul's warmest fireplacein the roughnessof his stubblethe tenderest love.

Sometimes I think, I need a spare heart to feel all the things I feel.

in the afterglowof an evening raini lay downin the grass and think of youmy body acheslike an after-kissbreaking in soft firesand wildflowersmy dear, i will always bethis tender for you.

May your love for me be likethe scent of the evening seadrifting inthrough a quiet windowso i do not have to runor chase or fall... to feel youall i have to dois breathe.

I had embraced you...long before i hugged you.

moonlight disappears down the hillsmountains vanish into fogand i vanish into poetry.

a single poemthe thing that can keep melight on my feet, when my soul isheavy with sorrow.

May our twilights mix togetherlike breath and breathlessness.

A single poem, alonecan turn tidesscatter galaxiesand burst forth with riversfrom paradise.

You don't just read a book to find adventure. You read a book to find yourself.

A believer a mind whose faith is consciousness is never disturbed because other persons do not yet see the fact which he sees.

If happiness truly consisted in physical ease and freedom from care then the happiest individual... would be I think an American cow.

I hope to stay unemployed as a war photographer till the end of my life.

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.

The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.

Nothing great comes into being all at once.

So, if I'm cooking, I'll be steaming vegetables, making some nice salad, that kind of stuff.

It is a shame for a man to desire honor because of his noble progenitors, and not to deserve it by his own virtue.

That's not going to happen, because I don't want it to happen. I don't want a movie about me until I'm very, very old - when I'm very, very old, everybody that wants to play me will be middle-aged.
