“Love means saying you’re sorry every day for some little thing or other.”

— Ray Bradbury

The Paris Review interview (2010)
Context: In that film Love Story, there’s a line, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard. Love means saying you’re sorry every day for some little thing or other.

“At the end of the day, happiness is derived from love — love for others and others’ love for you.

I mean the love one feels from friends, and the love for places and things that brings people together for shared purpose.”

Oft picking up with wondering gaze
Some little thing of other days
Saved from the wreck of time.”
