   "To love life. To love it even when you have no stomach for it. And everything you’ve held dear crumbles like burnt paper in your hands. Your throat filled with the silt of it. When grief weights you like your own flesh, only more of it. An obesity of grief. You think, “How can my body withstand this?” Then you hold life like a face between your palms. A plain face. No charming smile. No violet eyes. And you say, “Yes. I will take you. I will love you again."

   "… what I could say about your tendency to doubt or about your inability to bring your outer and inner lives into harmony or about all the other things that oppress you—: is just what I have already said: just the wish that you may find in yourself enough patience to endure and enough simplicity to have faith; that you may gain more and more confidence in what is difficult and in your solitude among other people. And as for the rest, let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always."
