Travel Far, Pay No Fare... a book can take you anywhere.

We walk up the beach under the stars. And when we are tired of walking, we lie flat on the sand under a bowl of stars. We feel stretched, expanded to take in their compass. They pour into us until we are filled with stars, up to the brim.

To be deeply in love is, of course, a great liberating force.

I do not like talking casually to people - it does not interest me - and most of them are unwilling to talk at all seriously.

I want to be pure in heart -- but I like to wear my purple dress.

Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all.

I think best with a pencil in my hand.
