"Love for one person is not love…we would like to think we are the definition of it, that we know in our deepest concerns we can be as rewarding. Love is for friends, strangers, connections to the outside world, and sharing in the creation of carrying life’s divergent perspectives in their significance. But love of one person is actually (and only) intimacy, in the same way in which we are preoccupied with mainly ourselves. Many of us take for granted the use of such a term as to what love truly is, and what it really can give us…but we still crave intimacy. Personality is the definition of love, while intimacy is the definition of clarity."

"All my life, I have been in love with the sky. Even when everything was falling apart around me, the sky was always there for me."
