"We are more alike than unalike."

-- Maya Angelou

“Many things that human words have upset are set at rest again by the silence of animals. Animals move through the world like a caravan of silence. A whole world, that of nature and that of animals, is filled with silence. Nature and animals seem like protuberances of silence. The silence of animals and the silence of nature would not be so great and noble if it were merely a failure of language to materialize. Silence has been entrusted to the animals and to nature as something created for its own sake.”
“No change of job, no increased income, no new home, no new electronic device, or no new spouse is going to make things better inside of you.”
“Although Kim Jong Un is a very unreasonable leader and has a firm, unreasonable belief that nuclear and missile weapons will protect him and his regime, we will continue to employ all possible means - sanctions, pressure, as well as dialogue - to draw North Korea to the negotiating table for denuclearization. To resolve the issue, we have to add dialogue to the current menu of sanctions and pressure.”
“Vast is the power of cities to reclaim the wanderer.”
“Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent than in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter.”
“I would pale in comparison to rock and rollers with my haircut. I would be a lightweight.”
“It's hard to write sex because it's hard to write desire, period.”
