“Sometimes the one who is running from the Life/Death/Life nature insists on thinking of love as a boon only. Yet love in its fullest form is a series of deaths and rebirths. We let go of one phase, one aspect of love, and enter another. Passion dies and is brought back. Pain is chased away and surfaces another time. To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings- all in the same relationship.”

“Piyano çalmayı çok isterdim," dedi donuk bir sesle. "Şimdi piyanoya oturur, kelimelerle ifade etmekte güçlük çektiğim bütün duygularımı, acılarımı tuşlara dökerdim. Bazen şiddetli, bazen yavaş basardım onlara. Kim bilir ne ince ayrıntıları vardır o dokunuşların? Kelimeleri daha önce öyle kötü yerlerde kullanıyoruz ki, kirletir diye korkuyoruz duygularıma dokunursa. Seslerin başka türlü bir dokunulmazlığı var.”
