"We borrow from nature the space upon which we build."

Tadao Ando

“At one point I felt a tension between objects, their real, physical lives, and the idea of meaning: the physical, material reality of a book, and the totally intangible experience of reading it.”

“It's scary when you get to a point where you write these songs that people like, and then you think, "Am I ever going to be able to write something better than that?"”

“Poetry is not like reasoning, a power to be exerted according to the determination of the will. A man cannot say, 'I will compose poetry.' The greatest poet even cannot say it; for the mind in creation is as a fading coal, which some invisible influence, like an inconstant wind, awakens to transitory brightness...and the conscious portions of our natures are unprophetic either of its approach or its departure.”
“In Chapel Hill among a friendly folk, this old university, the first state university to open its doors, stands on a hill set in the midst of beautiful forests under the skies that give their color and their charm to the life of youth gathered here . . . there is music in the air of the place.”
“The stars are the land-marks of the universe.”

“Be as pissed off as you want to be. Donâ€™t hold back because you think itâ€™s unladylike or some such nonsense. We shouldnâ€™t be shamed out of our anger. We should be using it. Using it to make change in our own lives, and using it to make change in the lives around us. (I know, Iâ€™m cheesy.) So the next time someone calls you emotional, or asks if youâ€™re PMSing, call them on their bullshit.”

“When a woman has seen me, as you have, she belongs to me. She loves me forever.”
“Because I want to have my arm in good shape, I need to have my legs in good shape. Without a leg, there is no arm.”
