"There is not one big cosmic meaning for all,
there is only the meaning we each give to our life,
an individual meaning, an individual plot,
like an individual novel, a book for each person.... When I was working on the diary I became aware of a wonderful image: relationships were very much like stellar constellations-- ...The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself."
