• The exhilaration was hard to explain. It was a lonely feeling — a somehow melancholy feeling.

They didn't know he had passed them; only he knew. It was a secret thing.

All I know is that compared to her, Shelly and Miranda seemed so...ordinary.

• A little sun, a little rain,
  A soft wind blowing from the west,
  And woods and fields are sweet again,
  And warmth within the mountain's breast
  
  A little love, a little trust,
  A soft impulse, a sudden dream,
  And life as dry as desert dust,
  Is fresher than a mountain stream.

• There is no formula for generating the authentic warmth of love. It cannot be copied. You cannot talk yourself into it or rouse it by straining at the emotions or by dedicating yourself solemnly to the service of mankind. Everyone has love, but it can only come out when he is convinced of the impossibility and the frustration of trying to love himself. This conviction will not come through condemnations, through hating oneself, through calling self love bad names in the universe. It comes only in the awareness that one has no self to love.
