“Her mind is an unquiet one, words and thoughts and impulses constantly crashing into each other.”
“There's a place beyond words where experience first occurs to which I always want to return. I suspect that whenever I articulate my thoughts or translate my impulses into words, I am betraying the real thoughts and impulses which remain hidden.”
“Words are most important. I never wanted to write a song about nothing. After all, the impulse towards music is at its heart an urge to express something.”
“He was, in other words, a careful man with careless impulses.”
