Alone, the world offers itself freely to us. To be unmasked, it has no choice.

It's personal freedom, not hundred dollar bills that lights the soul's cigar.

Love easily confuses us because it is always in flux between illusion and substance, between memory and wish, between contentment and need.

I have always been a romantic, one of those people who believes that a woman in pink circus tights contains all the secrets of the universe.

We say we are earthlings, not waterlings. Our blood is closer to seawater than our bones to soil, but thats no matter. The sea is the cradle we all rocked out of, but its to dust that we go. From the time that water invented us, we began to seek out dirt. The further we separate ourselves from the dirt, the further we separate ourselves from ourselves. Alienation is a disease of the unsoiled.

We are seldom as limited as we think we are.

You knows dat in New Orleans is not morning 'til dee sun come up.
