“Pre-order is the new order”

“...when he walks, he sounds like a tree still full of dead leaves holding on.”

“As their song crescendoed I had the sudden conviction that the world, which I had considered the province of meaningless chances, a mad dance of atoms, was as orderly as the hexagons in the honeycombs I had just crushed into wax and that behind everything, from Helen's weaving to Circe's mountain to Scylla's death, was a subtle pattern, an order of the most compelling lucidity, but hidden from me, a code I could never crack.”

“As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret are the things you didn't do.”

“Its complicated, on one level. On another, its the same old stupid story - we aren't enlightened. We disagree, fall in love, and hate eachother, the whole spectrum of human experience. We have differences of opinion, and sometimes, we can't resolve those differences peacefully. If a disagreement goes for long enough, and is important enough, people start to take sides. Once people start to take sides, conflict is inevitable.”

“I am not a party candidate, and if elected cannot be President of a party, but the President of the whole people.”

“Крача в мократа трева по-нататък и виждам изоставената съборена плевня.Пропаднал покрив,стърчащи греди,изпотрошени дъски,ръждясали ламарини,потънала в трева и жилави храсталаци.И сякаш годините самота и суровият климат не са били достатъчни, а и един див орех, поникнал в средата ѝ,я доразкъсва отвътре пролет след пролет.”
