“The world is full of fools, and he who would not see it should live alone and smash his mirror.”

“On one side, the mass of a mountain. A life I know.On the other, the universe of the clouds, so full of unknown that it seems empty to us. Too much space.”

“When I see three oranges, I juggle; when I see two towers, I walk!”

“When the towers again twin-tickle the clouds, I offer to walk again, to be the expression of the builder's collective voice. Together, we will rejoice in an aerial song of victory. I will carry my life across the wire, as your life, as all our lives, past, present, and future -the lives lost, the lives welcomed since.we can overcome.”

“My destiny no longer has me conquering the highest toowers in the world, but rather the void they protect.This cannot be measured.”

“Little deer, I've stuffed all the world's diseases inside you. / Your veins are thorns // and the good cells are lost in the deep dark woods / of your organs.”

“If there is horror, it is for those who speak indifferently of the next war. If there is hate, it is for hateful qualities, not nations. If there is love, it is because this alone kept me alive.”
