“Have you noticed how nobody ever looks up? Nobody looks at chimneys, or trees against the sky, or the tops of buildings. Everybody just looks down at the pavement or their shoes. The whole world could pass them by and most people wouldn't notice.”
“I lie back. It seems as if the whole world were flowing and curving — on the earth the trees, in the sky the clouds. I look up, through the trees, into the sky. The clouds lose tufts of whiteness as the breeze dishevels them. If that blue could stay for ever; if that hole could remain for ever; if this moment could stay for ever.”
“All I know is this: nobody's very big in the first place, and it looks to me like everybody spends their whole life tearing everybody else down.”
“And there was a beutiful viewBut nobody could seeCause everybody on the islandWas saying Look at me! Look at me.”
“Have you ever noticed how much they look like orchids? lovely!”
“If you want to do the work of God, pay attention to people. Notice them. Especially the people nobody else notices.”
