“A man's liberties are none the less aggressed upon because those who coerce him do so in the belief that he will be benefited.”
“I don't think I ever had a morning where I woke up and said I'm going to be a professional poet. I know I've always loved poetry, I've always loved writing poetry and I've always loved sharing poetry. I've also always known that I wanted that to somehow be a very large part of my life and I'm very fortunate that it's such a large part of my life.”
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn't likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn't remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
“Along with its enchanting and exquisite melodies, West Side Story has attitude and a tremendous amount of frenetic energy. It's emotional, theatrical and technical. It's everything.”
“Are you at work?" I asked. Not precisely, but that's a good suggestion....”

“Doors of the future are open to those who know how to push them”
“Logically there is nothing new to say about the New. Or maybe it's just a problem of articulating unfamiliar perceptions.”
“Masculine people, by their nature, tend to want to make everything into a journey with a goal.”
