believe essence choices
Choice is the essence of what I believe it is to be human.
missing choices goes-on
I am learning that if I just go on accepting the framework for life that others have given me, if I fail to make my own choices, the reason for my life will be missing. I will be unable to recognize that which I have the power to change.
thinking who-i-am choices
I think of all the choices I never knew. And those I let be made for me - to please, from fear, for love. Where did they disappear to, those choices that I never made? They are all part of who I am. They are the legacy I leave behind, they are the finished portrait of myself I cannot change.
gets people whom work
The older one gets in this profession, the more people there are with whom one would never work again.
saw
Only when he saw this face, and this actress, could he make the movie.
beautiful summer book
The Summer Book is beautiful and warm, with the kind of wisdom we can adapt to our everyday lives.
spirit birth ibsen
Ibsen was Norwegian by birth, but universal in spirit.
compassion rights justice
Since suffering confers no rights on its victims, we who witness are the ones responsible for restoring these lost rights.
void papa kind
The void Papa's death left in me became a kind of cavity, into which later experiences were to be laid.
lonely loneliness believe
I believe that it is sometimes less difficult to wake up and feel that I am alone when I really am, than to wake up with someone else and be lonely.
cities found-dead forever
If a person is found dead here, a postmorten will always reveal whether he has spent less than three weeks in the city. That is the length of time it takes this pollution to invade the body, after which it is there forever.
loneliness being-alone swimming
Hollywood is loneliness beside the swimming pool.
death people statistics
it is only in statistics that people die by the millions. Each person dies individually, in his own predicament.
men thinking wrinkles
What I have always loved most in men is imperfection. I get moved by the wrinkles on the throat of a man. It makes me love him more. I think it is sad that more women don't take the chance that maybe men will be moved by seeing the chin a little less firm than it used to be, that a man will be more in love with his wife because he remembers who she was and sees who she is and thinks, God, isn't that lovely that this happened to her. And be moved by life telling its story there.
