Love is almost never simple.

Statesmen are grocers, ambitious clowns.

Tell me something only you know and make a new friend.

Great poets are great copy editors.

Forget decorated generals, tell me about Private Ryan.

Strangers are endearing because you don’t know them yet.

There are many secrets; don’t try to resolve them all.

If what we think of ourselves were true, the planet would overflow with geniuses.

We like to admit to only that which already glows, although it is nobler to support brightness before it glows, not afterwards.
