All in all, Vermont is a jewel state, small but precious.
I get really bored if I don't have more than one thing going on.
In the end only kindness matters.
Live your life with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon.
I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.
The best antidote for loneliness, hopelessness, and fear is vulnerability: sharing your secrets and talking about what shames you, what you fear.
Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn't ever lost completely; we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it.
The gods were bored and so they created man. Adam was bored because he was alone, so Eve was created. Thus boredom entered the world, and increased in proportion to the increase in population. Adam was bored alone, then Adam and Eve were bored together; them Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel were bored en famille; then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse.
I think this is often misunderstood in the West, where people feel that there can be no justice unless everything is the same. This is part of why I feel we have to relearn how we think about love, because we think about love so much in terms of the self.
The thing is to be able to outlast the trends.
My life isn't that dramatic. My dad really loves me, he just can't talk on the phone. He's too crippled and shy, and that's almost harder. He's there and he loves me, and I try and try and try, it's just impossible to have a relationship.
