My dream has always been to suspend myself in space when I write, and lying horizontal in bed is the closest to doing that.

I keep a quotes journal - of every sentence that I've wanted to remember from my reading of the past 30 years.

Only keep still, wait, and hear, and the world will open.

When you're sure of what you're looking at, look harder.

Librarian is a service occupation. Gas station attendant of the mind.

My goal for technology has always been to reach a point where the technological mediation becomes invisible.

Until I was 42, I could fit everything that I owned into two suitcases.
