“Because the world is round it turns me onBecause the wind is high it blows my mindLove is old, love is newLove is all, love is youBecause the sky is blue, it makes me cry”

“I saw myself, sharply, as a wanderer, an adventurer, rocking through the world, unanchored.[...]The wind of my life was blowing me away.[...]I take the blue envelope...and tear it slowly into many pieces, watching them dance in the wind, watching the wind carry them away. Yet as I turn and begin walking toward the waiting people, the wind blows some of them back on me.”

“Blow, blow, ye western wind . . . Christ, that my love were in my arms and I in my bed again. That my love Catherine. That my sweet love Catherine down might rain. Blow her again to me.”

“Tell me why the stars do shine,Tell me why the ivy twines,Tell me what makes skies so blue,And I'll tell you why I love you.Nuclear fusion makes stars to shine,Tropisms make the ivy twine,Raleigh scattering make skies so blue,Testicular hormones are why I love you. ”

“Caro… I don’t understand – why do you love me?”“Just because… because the sky is blue and the sea is green.”

“Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whiskey makes it go round twice as fast.”
