"Poetry comes alive to me through recitation."

-- Natalie Merchant

“I don't know if you're married, but sometimes there are times where one is really together with their partner. And then there are times when you're both just in your own thing, but you're there together.”
“Poor Fred - he's actually working on a typo, and somebody ought to tell him. Twice in the New Testament Jesus withered fig trees, Isaiah withered a fig tree, and there's another place in the Old Testament - I think it-s in Psalms - where a fig tree was withered. God hates figs, not fags!”
“The moral arc of the universe bends at the elbow of justice.”
“Forgiveness is an embrace, across all barriers, against all odds, in defiance of all that is mean and petty and vindictive and cruel in this life.”
“The dynamic of a relationship changes when one person gets sober.”
“This mixture of Polish, not Polish, of being European, gives me a perspective to see Poland through "new eyes" - paradoxically, more closely... because it's from a kind of distance.”
“I was the highest-paid street performer, probably, in the history of Chicago. I was making like $800 a day.”
“Every woman has the right to be beautiful.”
