“Rocks are space, and space is illusion.”

“Seth gave her that: a private space to believe in the illusion of normalcy.”

“The search for meaning is an illusion of logic and a requirement of the middleclass for predictable breeding space.”

“The stories that unfold in the space of a writer's study, the objects chosen to watch over a desk, the books selected to sit on the shelves, all weave a web of echoes and reflections of meanings and affections, that lend a visitor the illusion that something of the owner of this space lives on between these walls, even if the owner is no more.”

“One problem with people is that as soon as they fill a space it's them you see and not the space. Large, desolate landscapes stop being large, desolate landscapes once they have people in them. They define what the eye sees. And the human eye is almost always directed at other humans. In this way an illusion is created that humans are more important than those things on earth which are not human. It's a sick illusion.”

“Is negative space the space you don't like, or the space that is not there? And if it's not there how can you tell?”
