that your power of command with simple language was one of the magnificent things of our century. (from the poem: result)

magic persists without us no matter what we may do to try to spoil it

With me, my main vision for life was to avoid as many people as possible. The less people I saw the better I felt.

To do a dull thing with style-now that's what I call art.

and the color in my eyes has gone back into the sea.

I have no time for things that have no soul.

I have been treated better than I should have been---not by life in general nor by the machinery of things but by women.
