"It's not the world wide web. It's the women wide web."

“It's going to take generations of gay people marrying before these things start to feel natural. We haven't had it long enough to remake it as our own, so it does feel like you're getting dressed up in straight drag to do it.”
“Using numerology to count the people I sent to heaven, Produces more digits than 22 divided by 7.”
“I had to live this long, have the experiences I've had, to create what I do. I knew I wanted to write for years, but I had to be ready so I wouldn't blow it. The move to Maine was the final step.”
“The major western democracies are moving towards corporatism. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope. The main parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies â€” socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor â€” and the same foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy. It is to politics what McDonalds is to food.”

“One of the things that I most believe in is the compose and wait philosophy of photography. Itâ€™s a very satisfying, almost spiritual way to photograph. Life isn'tâ€™ knocking you around, life isn't controlling you. You have picked your place, youâ€™ve picked your scene, youâ€™ve picked your light, youâ€™ve done all the decision making and you are waiting for the moment to come to you.”
“Because I was flat out wrong I'm on my knees Begging that you Will forgive me, please”
“Genius is a will-o'-the-wisp if it lacks a solid foundation of perseverence and fanatical tenacity. This is the most important thing in all of human life...”
“Courage, the highest gift, that scorns to bend To mean devices for a sordid end. Courage--an independent spark from Heaven's bright throne, By which the soul stands raised, triumphant high, alone. Great in itself, not praises of the crowd, Above all vice, it stoops not to be proud. Courage, the mighty attribute of powers above, By which those great in war, are great in love. The spring of all brave acts is seated here, As falsehoods draw their sordid birth from fear.”
