"You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."

"Peace isn’t a permanent state. It exists in moments. Fleeting; gone before we even knew it was there. We can experience it at any time; in a strangers act of kindness. A task that requires complete focus. Or simply the comfort of an old routine. Everyday, we all experience these moments of peace. The trick is to know when they’re happening. So that we can embrace them, live in them… and finally let them go."

"I’ve felt basically lucky ever since, almost every day of my life. That’s something else love should make you feel. It should make you feel fortunate. It will be made clear to you in a stray gesture, the line of a throat. Something in the hands. There may or may not be any music playing. But there will be a certain velocity of the spirit, a sensation of dropping through clear space unimpeded, and you think, This is the one. I found you."
