The psychologists are valiantly trying to provide us with answers, the religious people are trying to provide us with answers. I think it properly falls on the cultural workers to investigate this predicament with a little less concern for the marketplace and a little more concern for their higher calling.

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

there's no forsaking what you love no existential leap as witnessed here in time and blood a thousand kisses deep

I have often prayed for you like this Let me have her

As the mist leaves no scar On the dark green hill So my body leaves no scar On you and never will

If you don't become the ocean, you'll be seasick every day.

Deprivation is the mother of poetry.
