“There seems to be within all of us an innate yearning to be lifted momentarily out of our own lives into the realm of charm and make believe.”
“If I can in any way contribute to the Diversion or Improvement of the Country in which I live, I shall leave it, when I am summoned out of it, with the secret Satisfaction of thinking that I have not lived in vain.”
“The true is inimitable, the false untransformable.”
“There is a woman who swam around Manhattan, and I asked her, why? She said, it hadn't ever been done before. Well, she didn't have to do that. If she wanted to something no one had ever done before, all she had to do was vacuum my apartment.”
“The situation now is not easy. But I believe in the good sense of the Japanese people.”
“You learn by reading but understand by LOVE.”
“I would say Pittsburgh softly each time before throwing him up. Whisper Pittsburgh with my mouth against the tiny ear and throw him higher. Pittsburgh and happiness high up. The only way to leave even the smallest trace. So that all his life her son would feel gladness unaccountably when anyone spoke of the ruined city of steel in America. Each time almost remembering something maybe important that got lost.”
“Baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love”
