author "The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea."; "The punctuation of anniversaries is terrible, like the closing of doors, one after another between you and what you want to hold on to."; "The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere."; "Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found."; "One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few."; "Life is a gift, given in trust - like a child."; "It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded."; "If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments."; "I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living."; "I have been overcome by the beauty and richness of our life together, those early mornings setting out, those evenings gleaming with rivers and lakes below us, still holding the last light."; "I feel we are all islands - in a common sea."; "I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable."; "I believe that what woman resents is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly."; "Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after."; "For sleep, one needs endless depths of blackness to sink into; daylight is too shallow, it will not cover one."; "For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair."; "By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class."; "Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem or saying a prayer."; "America, which has the most glorious present still existing in the world today, hardly stops to enjoy it, in her insatiable appetite for the future."
