"Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it."

"I've known rivers:I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.My soul has grown deep like the rivers."

"An artist must be free to choose what he does, certainly, but he must also never be afraid to do what he might choose."

"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."

"Oh, God of Dust and Rainbows,Help us to seeThat without the dust the rainbowWould not be."
