• It's hard enough to be in a marriage, and then have a kid, then kids, it changes everything. For me, I'd become more concerned with my children.

I didn't give her an ultimatum, but I was trying to work stuff out with her, and she didn't even talk to me or anything and went behind my back and filed [for divorce]. [I was] completely blindsided.

• I am dominated by one thing, an irresistible, burning attraction towards the abstract. The expression of human feelings and the passions of man certainly interest me deeply, but I am less concerned with expressing the motions of the soul and mind than to render visible, so to speak, the inner flashes of intuition which have something divine in their apparent insignificance and reveal magic, even divine horizons, when they are transposed into the marvellous effects of pure plastic art.

• According
  to my own experience, the highest level of inner calm comes from the
  development of love and compassion. The more concerned we are with the
  happiness of others, the more we increase our own well-being.
  Friendliness and warmth towards others allow us to relax and help us to
  dispel any sense of fear or insecurity so we can overcome whatever
  obstacles we face.

  Dalai Lama

• December finds himself again a child
  Even as he undergoes his age.
  Cold and early darkness now descends,
  Embracing sanctuaries of delight.
  More and more he stares into the night,
  Becoming less and less concerned with ends,
  Emblem of the innocent as sage
  Restored to wonder by what he must yield.
