“Slow down, Quentin.
You don't have to touch and go.
You can see it all if your fingers whispers on one word.
Slow down, and hold what you see just a little while longer.
For in a world full of fast faces,
I'm looking for God everywhere -
trying to figure out a little better
this little thing He made called a man.”
― Songs From Under The River

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”

“We once climbed into bed as though between the sheets
was a valley where dinosaurs still lived.
And how we would explore them with a flashlight
catching these triceratops and brontosauruses.
But even he was opened with the dripping teeth of reality.”
