Frases de Robert James Waller

“Uno es lo que produce.”

“Complex things are easy to do. Simplicity's the real challenge.”

“First you must have the images, then come the words.”

“I sometimes have the feeling you've been here a long time, more than one lifetime, and that you've dwelt in private places none of the rest of us has even dreamed about.”

“There are songs that come free from the blue-eyed grass, from the dust of a thousand country roads. This is one of them.”

“We have both lost ourselves and created something else, something that exists only as an interlacing of the two of us.”

“So here I am walking around with another person inside of me. Though I think I put it better the day we parted when I said there is a third person we have created from the two of us. And I am stalked now by that other entity.”

“Such physical matters were nice, yet, to him, intelligence and passion born of living, the ability to move and be moved by subtleties of the mind and spirit, were what really counted.”

“One great love in a single lifetime was enough for anyone.”
