“Remember that writing is translation, and the opus to be translated is yourself.”
E.B. White

“There lives the dearest freshness deep down things.”
Gerard Manley Hopkins

“If I knew where the good songs were, I’d go there more often. It’s a mysterious condition. It’s much like the life of a Catholic nun. You’re married to a mystery.”
Leonard Cohen

“Farts are a repressed minority. The mouth gets to say all kinds of things, but the other place is supposed to keep quiet. But maybe our lower colons have something interesting to say. Maybe we should listen to them. Farts are human, more human than a lot of people I know. I think we should bring them out of the water closet and into the parlor, and that’s what I did in Blazing Saddles.”
Mel Brooks

“Young love is about wanting to be happy. Old love is about wanting someone else to be happy”
