“I like women who haven’t lived with too many men.
I don’t expect virginity but I simply prefer women
who haven’t been rubbed raw by experience.
There is a quality about women who choose
men sparingly;
it appears in their walk
in their eyes
in their laughter and in their
gentle hearts.
Women who have had too many men
seem to choose the next one
out of revenge rather than with
feeling.
When you play the field selfishly everything
works against you:
one can’t insist on love or
demand affection.
You’re finally left with whatever
you have been willing to give
which often is:
nothing.”

“I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

“هل يوجد غير الموسيقى من يعطينا شهوة الحلم والذهاب بعيدا في حنيننا؟ نتحمل قسوة الحياة وصرامتها ،لأن الموسيقى من حين لآخر تفاجئنا بعنفوانها ودهشتها وتشعرنا بطفولتنا الدائمة ،وإلا من يملأ هذا الخواء المفجع الذي يزداد اتساعا فينا كل يوم؟”
