“There are many forms of love and affection, some people can spend their whole lives together without knowing each other's names. Naming is a difficult and time-consuming process; it concerns essences, and it means power. But on the wild nights who can call you home? Only the one who knows your name.”

“A good roast of sun, it slows you, lets you relax–and out here if there's anything wrong, you can see it coming with bags of time to do what's next. This is the place and the weather for peace, for the cultivation of a friendly mind.”

“There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. A life of good days lived in the senses is not enough.

Who would call a day spent reading a good day? But a life spent reading -- that is a good life.”
