Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.

You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare.

The unexplainable thing in nature that makes me feel the world is big fat beyond my understanding – to understand maybe by trying to put it into form. To find the feeling of infinity on the horizon line or just over the next hill.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

My first memory is of light -- the brightness of light -- light all around.

I have already settled it for myself so flattery and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.
