We are less lonely when we connect. Art is connection.

We need to make sure our children travel to see things. Not necessarily long distances but at least out of the neighborhood. On a train. A boat. An airplane.

There are things you stand up for because it’s right.

I love you because no two snowflakes are alike, and it is possible, if you stand tippy-toe, to walk between the raindrops.

Art is not for the cultivated taste. It is to cultivate taste.

Photographers direct the eye toward a particular object. We who write, one hopes, are directing the heart and the soul.

Death is a slave's freedom.
