“You meet a new person, you go with him and suddenly you get a whole new city...you go down new streets, you see houses you never saw before, pass places you didn't even know were there. Everything changes.”
― Dhalgren

“Так в каждом деле. Завтра, завтра, завтра,-
А дни ползут, и вот уж в книге жизни
Читаем мы последний слог и видим,
Что все вчера лишь озаряли путь
К могиле пыльной. Дотлевай, огарок!

Поясничавший полчаса на сцене
И тут же позабытый; это повесть,
Которую пересказал дурак:
В ней много слов и страсти, нет лишь смысла.
("Макбет")”

“The sun shines, snow falls, mountains rise and valleys sink, night deepens and pales into day, but it is only very seldom that we attend to such things. . . . When we are grasping the inexpressible meaning of these things, this is life, this is living. To do this twenty-four hours a day is the Way of Haiku. It is having life more abundantly.”
