“Just as music is noise that makes sense, a painting is colour that makes sense, so a story is life that makes sense.”

“It's beautiful when it all makes sense, so it is. Occasionally it makes sense, just for a moment.”

“A lot of things in life won't make sense, so be sure to make the most sense out of those that do.”

“A story must be judged according to whether it makes sense. And 'making sense' must be here understood in its most direct meaning: to make sense is to enliven the senses. A story that makes sense is one that stirs the senses from their slumber, one that opens the eyes and the ears to their real surroundings, tuning the tongue to the actual tastes in the air and sending chills of recognition along the surface of the skin. To make sense is to release the body from the constraints imposed by outworn ways of speaking, and hence to renew and rejuvenate one's felt awareness of the world. It is to make the senses wake up to where they are.”

“People wanted the world to be a story, because stories had to sound right and they had to make sense. People wanted the world to make sense.”

“The world doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?”
