“I think a lot about Big Mind-Small Mind, expansive, wide-lens consciousness and contracted, introverted consciousness. I have moments-we all do-when just being alive is a pleasure and a miracle. They feel like moments when the shutters of the mind are open so I can look out. It also feels as if those same shutters have no hooks to fix them in an open position. One small wind and bang-they slam shut.”

“Marriage has, for its share, usefulness, justice, honour, and constancy; a stale but more durable pleasure.

It ceases to be love if it has no shafts and no fire.”
