Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?
Love the world and yourself in it, move through it as though it offers no resistance, as though the world is your natural element.
We laugh and laugh, and nothing can ever be sad, no one can be lost, or dead, or far away: right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment.
I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by abscence?
There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love.
But you make me happy. It's living up to being happy that's the difficult part.
The compelling thing about making art - or making anything, I suppose - is the moment when the vaporous, insubstantial idea becomes a solid there, a thing, a substance in a world of substances.
Listen, sometimes when you finally find out, you realize that you were much better off not knowing.
I'm at a loss because I am in love with a man who is standing before me with no memories of me at all. (Time Traveler's Wife)

It's hard being left behind. (...) It's hard to be the one who stays.
Sleep is my lover now, my forgetting, my opiate, my oblivion.
Clare, I want to tell you, again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you.
Chaos is more freedom; in fact, total freedom. But no meaning. I want to be free to act, and I also want my actions to mean something.
Why is love intensified by absence?
I won't ever leave you, even though you're always leaving me.
that's what I love you for: your inability to perceive all my hideous flaws

It’s dark now and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time is nothing.
I'm sorry. I didn't know you were coming or I'd have cleaned up a little more. My life, I mean, not just the apartment.
I love. I have loved. I will love.
