The anger of the weak never goes away, Professor, it just gets a little moldy. It molds like a beautiful blue cheese in the dark, growing stronger, and more interesting. The poor and the weak die with all their anger intact and probably those angers go on growing in the dark of the grave like the hair and the nails.

Live as if you liked yourself, and it may happen: reach out, keep reaching out, keep bringing in. This is how we are going to live for a long time: not always, for every gardener knows that after the digging, after the planting, after the long season of tending and growth, the harvest comes.

Our wedding plans please everybody as if we were fertilizing the earth and creating social luck.

The will to be totally rational is the will to be made out of glass and steel: and to use others as if they were glass and steel.

Connections are made slowly, sometimes they grow underground.
