You can know a thing to death and be for all purposes completely ignorant of it. A man can know his father, or his son, and there might still be nothing between them but loyalty and love and mutual incomprehension. ↗

Death ends a life, but it does not end a relationship, which struggles on in the survivor's mind toward some resolution which it may never find. ↗

We must come together in ways that respect the solitude of the soul that avoid the unconscious violence we do when we try to save each other that evoke our capacity to hold another life without dishonoring its mystery never trying to coerce the other into meeting our own needs. ↗

Cilvēkus vienkārši vajag saprast, viņa domā. Un pasauli vajag saprast. Nevar tā – maukt visus kā kurpes uz vienas liestes. Katrai ādai savs izliekums, vīle, kūkums. Lai to ieraudzītu, vajag klusumu un laiku. ↗

Then there are the simple things. The way she fits against my side when we’re sitting together. How she can silence my addled thoughts with one look. The sound of my name from her lips. The way she can make a moment, any moment, a thousands times better when she is there. How the simplest pleasures in life become exciting with the promise of sharing the experience with her. ↗

Mon ami, let this be a lesson to you. You are a man. Behave, then, like a man! It is against Nature for a man to grovel. Women and Nature have almost exactly the same reactions! Remember it is better to take the largest plate within reach and fling it at a woman's head than it is to wriggle like a worm whenever she looks at you! ↗

Honesty is a heart that betrays itself for a dream, a moment, a kiss. ↗
