Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don’t start measuring her limbs.
The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death.
Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God.
Where love is concerned, too much is not even enough.
I really love idiot, enlightened characters – these characters who fail to engage with the drama of their immediate circumstances they fail to be reactive and enrolled by drama as it happens around them.
I did not just fall in love. I made a parachute jump.
Metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory.
At the end of the day, you know, love does not happen between two perfect people as much as we would wish.
When you’re taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, then what value does that place on love?
Love can no more continue without a constant motion than fire can and when once you take hope and fear away, you take from it its very life and being.
