A whole world, that of nature and that of animals, is filled with silence. Nature and animals seem like protuberances of silence.

Silence has been entrusted to the animals and to nature as something created for its own sake.”

“I love to hand sew. I sometimes make clothing for my children, which of course they grow out of in a matter of minutes. I thoroughly love it.”
“If I ever have a son, I would call him Frankie, and it's a family name - it's my dad and my dad's dad, so you know, it sticks. I won't forget it.”
