"Dear Leonard. To look life in the face. Always to look life in the face and to know for what it is. At last to know it. To love it for what it is, and then, to put it away. Leonard. Always the years between us. Always the years. Always the love. Always the hours."

"I remember one morning getting up at dawn. There was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling. And I... remember thinking to myself: So this is the beginning of happiness, this is where it starts. And of course there will always be more... never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment, right then."
