Steven Magee
“In the Awakenings movie I found it very interesting that the most profound awakenings in the catatonic patients occurred in 1969, the year that the Aurora Borealis was seen from N.Y. to Louisiana. It seems the patients were getting environmental radiation stimulation in addition to their L-Dopa drug that year. L-Dopa plus radiation therapy may eventually be proven to be a very potent brain stimulant.”
Steven Magee

Munia Khan
“Sturdy swimmers afloat on water-couch
Beneath the heavy bill their treasured pouch
Fishes pray for them to fly far away
Inland lakes toast to the Pelican’s day”
Munia Khan

Hunter Murphy
“Buddy ran down the road, turned into another street, and vanished as if he had never been there, like another ghost from New Orleans's past.”
Hunter Murphy, Imogene in New Orleans

Munia Khan
“A tree house, to me, is the most royal palace in the world”
Munia Khan

Gary Krist
“New Orleans, it was often observed, was the first American metropolis to build an opera house, but the last to build a sewage system.”
Gary Krist, Empire of Sin: A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder, and the Battle for Modern New Orleans
