"The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back and all turns to silver glass. Then you see it. White shores and beyond. A far green country under a swift sunrise."***"I don't know... perhaps it becomes clearer when we grow up."***"How many loved your moments of glad grace And loved your beauty with love false or true But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you And loved the sorrows of your changing face"***"Stop it. Stop it, I tell you I don't want to be perfect. Can't you understand that? I don't want to be perfect!"***
