The sea at springtime.All day it rises and falls,yes, rises and falls.

Young leaves The sound of a waterfall Heard from far and near.

Lighting one candle from another - Winter night

Throw open your window and let the scenery of clouds and sky enter your room.

In pale moonlight / the wisteria's scent / comes from far away.

In the spring rain, The pond and the river Have become one.

In lantern-light My yellow Chrysanthemums Lost all their color

Grasses are misty, The waters silent- A tranquil evening.

In the water bucket a melon and an eggplant nodding to each other

I came to the flowers; I slept beneath them; this was my leisure.

Calligraphy of geese against the sky- the moon seals it.

Never write a book and let it sit on a shelf.

Writers are engineers of human souls.

It's amazing how a truly great songwriter can touch anyone in the world with their words.

I’m losing my taste for everything, including even my taste for finding everything tasteless.

We're supposed to have guns. It says so in the Bible; and the second greatest book ever written, the Texas State Constitution.

We [Federal Government] have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work.

If you want love, love somebody.

Not even your love could withhold you from fulfilling your own personal legend.

With the war and everything that's going on, unless you're Susan Sarandon, the best route is to keep your mouth shut. For me it is, anyway!

Literature is the thought of thinking souls.
