“I dreamed I was a single moment in a single day. A note struck and vanished. A sounding. A reckoning. Gone.”

“It's hard to remember that this day will never come again. That the time is now and the place is here and that there are no second chances at a single moment.”

“Strange to dream in the right shape and build in the wrong shape, but maybe that is what we do every day, never believing that a dream could tell the truth.”

“Our broken society is not born out of the triumph of the individual, but out of his effacement. He vanishes, she vanishes, ask them who they are and they will offer you a wallet or a child.”

“What is remembered is not a deed in stone but a metaphor. Meta = above. Pheren = to carry. That which is carried above the literalness of life. A way of thinking that avoids the problems of gravity. The word won't let me down. The single word that can release me from all that unuttered weight.”

“I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.”

“I may be cynical when I say that very rarely is the beloved more than a shaping spirit for the lover's dreams.”
