Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself. - Franz Kafka

My guiding principle is this: Guilt is never to be doubted.

No, I didn't imagine my being alone with you the way you do. If I want the impossible, I want it in its entirety. Entirely alone, dearest, I wanted us to be entirely alone on this earth, entirely alone under the sky, and to lead my life, my life that is yours, without distraction and with complete concentration, in you.

Even the merest gesture is holy if it is filled with faith.
