“Many of the proofs in mathematics are very long and intricate. Others, though not long, are very ingeniously constructed.”
“Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space. I know of no sculpture, painting or music that exceeds the compelling spiritual command of the soaring shape of granite cliff and dome, of patina of light on rock and forest, and of the thunder and whispering of the falling, flowing waters. At first the colossal aspect may dominate; then we perceive and respond to the delicate and persuasive complex of nature.”
“My mother never had time for me. When you're the middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention.”
“I always try meditation. Meditation means always keeping one mind, not-moving mind.”
“Don't you find that the more you know, the more you don't know and can't ever learn because there's too much stuff out there?”
“As the son of a director, I really believe an actor's place is just to shut-up and do what you're told to some agree.”
“Critics have been amusing themselves for a long time by auscultating fiction for signs of heart failure.”
“A mother's ability to provide for her children is not always tied to income, but rather to education.”
