“We ran as if to meet the moon.”

“We can make a little order where we are, and then the big sweep of history on which we can have no effect doesn't overwhelm us. We do it with colors, with a garden, with the furnishings of a room, or with sounds and words. We make a little form, and we gain composure.”

“What we live by we die by.”

“We love the things we love for what they are.”

“What are we?Young or new?We must be something.”

“If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane.”

“Something we were withholding made us weak, until we found it was ourselves.”
