Deep Thoughts

“Tell him yes. Even if you are dying of fear, even if you are sorry later, because whatever you do, you will be sorry all the rest of your life if you say no.”

“No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence–that which makes its truth, its meaning–its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream–alone.”

“so I wait for you like a lonely house
till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.”

“He couldn’t even tell whether he was angry or contrite, whether it was forgiveness he wanted or the power to forgive.”
