I couldn't unpeach the peaches.

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

No one escapes the wilderness on the way to the promised land.

At a certain point, you say to the woods, to the sea, to the mountains, the world, Now I am ready. Now I will stop and be wholly attentive. You empty yourself and wait, listening.

A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.

As a life's work, I would remember everything - everything, against loss. I would go through life like a plankton net.

According to Inuit culture in Greenland, a person possesses six or seven souls. The souls take the form of tiny people scattered throughout the body.

Stevie Wonder always smells so good... I'm like a DEA dog, I can smell people a block away!

The Charter of the United Nations expresses the noblest aspirations of man.

No matter what the subject, the subject is always love.

Love is a flame neither timid nor tame.

I work better the more I am confined and the less I am distracted. My ultimate place would be a closet.

I get to meet people from all walks of life, from all different countries, from different backgrounds.

The world is crawling with authors touring now. They're like performance artists.

And who are the greater criminals-those who sell the instruments of death, or those who buy them and use them?
