“The silence in the room had width, height, depth, mass and substance.”
“I need words that mean more than they mean, words not just with height and width, but depth and weight and, and other dimensions that I cannot even name.”
“I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of widths.”
“Thus, in a middle course between these heights and depths, they drifted through life rather than lived, the prey of aimless days and sterile memories, like wandering shadows that could have acquired substance only by consenting to root themselves in the solid earth of their distress.”
“We can't do much about the length of our lives, but we can do plenty about it's width and depth.”
“You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.”
