I never went to college, so I went to the library.

I was only kicking down the Christmas tree to get the star on top.

For John was running, and this was terrible. Because if you ran, time ran. You yelled and screamed and raced and rolled and tumbled and all of a sudden the sun was gone and the whistle was blowing and you were on your long way home to supper. When you weren't looking, the sun got around behind you! The only way to keep things slow was to watch everything and do nothing! You could stretch a day to three days, sure, just by watching!

(...) And metaphors like cats behind your smile, Each one wound up to purr, each one a pride, Each one a fine gold beast you've hid inside (...)

...passing swiftly on toward further darknesses, but moving also toward a new sun.

My goal is to entertain myself and others.

You've been put on the world to love the act of being alive.
