what was time but a convention, a habit of mind, a custom of dress?

People are terrified. A lot of them are in relationships that aren't satisfying, and if you tell them they can change their life, they get really scared.

It is the artists who make the true value of the world, though at times they may have to starve to do it. They are like earthworms, turning up the soil so things can grow, eating dirt so that the rest of us may eat green shoots.

In loving life you love what can't survive.

Is there a phrase in the English language more fraught with menace than a tax audit?

If you don't have time to do it right you must have time to do it right you must have time to do it over. If you don't know where you are going, how do you know when you get there? If you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

It takes a spasm of love to write a poem.
