Every day is a god, each day is a god, and holiness holds forth in time.

There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. A life of good days lived in the senses is not enough. The life of sensation is the life of greed; it requires more and more. The life of the spirit requires less and less; time is ample and its passage sweet. Who would call a day spent reading a good day? But a life spent reading -- that is a good life.

I am sorry I ran from you. I am still running, running from that knowledge, that eye, that love from which there is no refuge. For you meant only love, and love, and I felt only fear, and pain. So once in Israel love came to us incarnate, stood in the doorway between two worlds, and we were all afraid.

The more you read, the more you will write. The better the stuff you read, the better the stuff you will write.

You do what you do out of your private love of the thing itself.

The way to learn about a writer is to read the text. Or texts.

Every day is a god, each day is a god, and holiness holds forth in time.
