“Create until nothing is left to create andThe universe bursts with an overworked sigh thenPretend to pretend to re-crown the creation andSing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry and thenOver and over and over again and thenOver and over andNever again”

“It is true that I create over and over again the same difficulties for myself in order to struggle over and over again to master them [but] to continually struggle against the same problem and to continually fail to dominate it brings a feeling of frustration and a kind of paralysis. What is necessary to life, to livingness, is to move on, in other words to move from one kind of problem to another.”

“When you have nothing left but God,you have more than enough to start over again.”

“In many ways, a race is analogous to life itself. Once it is over, it can not be re-created. All that is left are inpressions in the heart, and in the mind.”

“The speeches! They were filled with borrowed things--borrowed over and over again until the words were nothing more than a series of clichés.”

“There's no way you can get the past right. You can pretend. You can delude yourself, but you can't re-create what's over.”
