Consciousness is the glory of creation.

Ultimately I have learned more about poetry, from music and magic than from literature.

I had a toy theater and a magic lantern, and when I was eight I built a stage for theatricals in the attic.

For me, prose walks, poetry dances.

Everything is Song. Everything is Silence. Since it all turns out to be illusion, perfectly being what it is, having nothing to do with good or bad, you are free to die laughing.

We are all participants in the marvelous.

And to Shakespeare I owe my vision of the world as a theater, wherein all humans are acting out their parts.
