“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”

“Dacă-aș fi trăsnet v-aș trăsni,
V-aș îneca dacă-aș fi apă,
Și v-aș săpa mormântu-adânc
Dac-aș fi sapă.
Dacă-aș fi ștreang v-aș spânzura,
Dacă-aș fi spadă v-aș străpunge,
V-aș urmări dac-aș fi glonț,
Și v-aș ajunge.
Dar eu, deși rămân ce sunt,
O voce-adâncă îmi murmură
Că sunt mai mult decât orice,
Căci eu, sunt ură.”

“The important thing in writing is the capacity to astonish. Not shock—shock is a worn-out word—but astonish.”
