tomorrow

When we speak of the morrow

nothing is ever certain.

one day

If people just took it a day at a time, 

they'd be a lot happier.

the beauty of life

As I came up the mountain, out of the misty valley into the sun. 

The fire on the cattle range, the potatoes in the ashes, 

the boathouse floating in the lake. The Southern Cross. (…)

The Far East. The Great North. The Wild West. The Great Bear Lake. 

Tristan da Cunha. The Mississippi Delta. Stromboli. 

The old houses of Charlottenburg. Albert Camus. The morning light. 

The child's eyes. The swim in the waterfall. The spots of the first drops of rain. 

The sun. The bread and wine. Hopping. Easter. 

The veins of leaves. The blowing grass. The colour of stones.

The pebbles on the stream's bed. The white tablecloth outdoors. 

The dream of the house in the house. The dear one asleep in the next room. 

The peaceful Sundays. The horizon. 

The light from the room in the garden. The night flight. 

Riding a bicycle with no hands. The beautiful stranger. 

My father. My mother. My wife. My child.

about writing

A man writes because he is tormented

because he doubts. 

He needs to constantly prove to himself and the others 

that he's worth something. 

And if I know for sure that I'm a genius? Why write then? 

What the hell for?

'Stalker'

strength and weakness

Let everything that's been planned come true. Let them believe.

 And let them have a laugh at their passions. 

Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, 

but just the friction 

between their souls and the outside world. 

And most important, let them believe in themselves. 

Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, 

and strength is nothing. 

When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. 

When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. 

When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. 

But when it's dry and hard, it dies. 

Hardness and strength are death's companions. 

Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. 

Because what has hardened 

will never win.

'Stalker'
director: Andrei Tarkovsky

what you are

Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. 

Make it your strength. 

Then it can never be your weakness. 

Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used 

to hurt you.

that's hell

I've never found heaven, for example, a particularly interesting place to go. 

In fact, I take the view that God, in his infinite wisdom, 

didn't bother to spring for two joints-heaven and hell. 

They're the same place, 

but heaven is when you get everything you want 

and you meet Mummy and Daddy and your best friends 

and you all have a hug and a kiss and play your harps. 

Hell is the same place-no fire and brimstone-but they just all pass by 

and don't see you. 

There's nothing, no recognition.

 You're waving, "It's me, your father," but you're invisible. 

You're on a cloud, you've got your harp, but you can't play with nobody

 because they don't see you. 

That's hell.

true friends

True friends. 

Hardest thing to find, 

but you never look for them-they find you; 

just grow into each other.

song-writing

To write a song that is remembered and taken to heart is a connection, 

a touching of bases. A thread that runs through all of us. 

A stab to the heart. 

Sometimes I think song-writing is about tightening the heartstrings 

as much as possible without bringing on 

a heart attack.

to love things

How we love to love things for other people; 

how we love to have other people love things 

through our eyes.

someone you love

It's natural to want someone you love 

to do what you want, 

or what you think would be good for them, 

but you have to let everything happen to them. 

You can't interfere with people you love any more 

than you're supposed to interfere with 

people you don't even know 

and that's hard. 

John Irving

our lives

Our lives are not our own, 

from womb to tomb, 

we're bound to others, past and present. 

And by each crime and every kindness, 

we birth our future.

when you lie

When you lie, 

it makes you feel in charge of your life. (...)

When you lie, you feel 

as if you have cheated fate - your own, 

and everybody else's.

what love is

Was that what love was, 

and 

how it came to you - leaving you no options 

for its use?

real adventure

You know, everybody dies.

My parents died. Your father died. Everybody dies.

I'm going to die too. So will you.

The thing is, to have a life before we die.

It can be a real adventure 

having a life.

to know & to lose

We don't always have a choice how we get to know one another.

Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly --

as if out of the sky, 

or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth --

the same sudden way we lose people,

who once seemed they would always be 

part of our lives.
