“Love can be begged, bought, or received as a gift, one can find it in the street, but one cannot steal it.”
“One can beg, buy, be presented with and find love in the streets, but it can never be stolen.”
“Any kid what begs for a whippin' can find one.”
“An essential portion of any artist’s labor is not creation so much as invocation. Part of the work cannot be made, it must be received; and we cannot have this gift except, perhaps, by supplication, by courting, by creating within ourselves that ‘begging bowl’ to which the gift is drawn.”
“One can never receive enough love, nor, can they give enough. Love is the one thing we can never have enough of, nor, give too much.”
“One can give without loving, but one cannot love without giving”
