Fidelity to commitment in the face of doubts and fears is a very spiritual thing.

Love the ones you can. Touch the ones you can reach. Let the others go.

My life is the story of a man who always wants to carry too much. My spiritual quest is the painful process of learning to let go of things not essential.

The only comfort comes in thinking about how nice it was to know them, and how nice it was to brush against goodness for a season.

You can forget a lot of things, but you cannot forget a woman’s name and claim to love her.

When someone allows you to bear his burdens, you have found deep friendship.
