"I dreamt that I woke up. It's the oldest dream of all, and I've just had it"

“Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
“I do it as a therapy. I do it as something to keep me alive. We all need a little discipline. Exercise is my discipline.”
“That Sid Vicious was obviously a schizophrenic, kind of a mean one too.”
“What poet would not grieve to see His brother write as well as he? But rather than they should excel, He'd wish his rivals all in Hell.”
“There are certain prehistoric things that swim beyond extinction.”
“I have argued in favor of a reformulation of First Amendment law. The overriding goal of the reformulation is to reinvigorate processes of democratic deliberation, by ensuring greater attention to public issues and greater diversity of views.”
“I think people think celebrities get babies really easily, like Angelina Jolie, but they don't hear about the ones who aren't successful because we don't like talking about it, it's too painful.”
“Beauty is the purest feeling of the soul. Beauty arises when soul is satisfied.”
