- come away, o human child, to the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, for the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.
- let the warriors clamor after gods of blood and thunder; love is hard, harder than steel and thrice as cruel.
- and remember the truth that once was spoken: to love another person is to see the face of God.
- death doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and the saints it takes and it takes and it takes and we keep living anyway, we rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes.
- it gets easier. every day it gets a little easier. but you gotta do it every day — that’s the hard part. but it does get easier.
- i put myself back in the narrative, i stop wasting time on tears, i live another fifty years, it’s not enough time; and I’m still not through i ask myself what would you do if you had more time; the Lord in his kindness he gives me what you always wanted, he gives me more time.
- i have no use for rings of gold, i care not for your poetry, i only want your hand to hold (see I wasn't born royal so i don't give a f about a crown or a throne).
- you do not have to be good | you do not have to walk on your knees | for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. | you only have to let the soft animal of your body | love what it loves.
