It is the essence of power that it accrues to those with the ability to determine the nature of the real.

All paradox and enticing mystery$$$ street-tough one moment$$$ then lifted by a lyrical and poetic sensitivity.

To suffer fifty weeks of the year for the sake of a two-week vacation$$$ when all you really desire is to be outdoors$$$ with your shirt off.

We are only what we always were.

There is prodigious fear in seeking loose spirits

There might be a dragon with five legs in my house$$$ but no one has ever seen it.

He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being$$$ and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid.

Peace. It is a providence$$$ and no great change; we are only what we always were$$$ but naked now.

If you believe that life is worth living then your belief will create the fact.

The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him$$$ always.
