"   A woman is not written in braille, you don’t have to touch her to know her.   "

"   Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.   "

"   I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.   "
