Of the One O'Clock Lab Band after hearing their performance, and sitting in with them at the White House: "I wish it were mine".
I hate to cook and love to eat.
There ain't no way you can hold onto something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it.
When we read together, we connect. Together, we see the world. Together, we see one another.

A typical day for me is I get up at 6:00, the coffeemaker goes on automatically and the computer gets turned on. I pour a cup of coffee, listen to Garrison Keillor's The Writer's Almanac, and then I write.
It is truly excellent to have someone believe in you and your ability to write. But I think it is just as helpful to have people who don't believe in you, people who mock you, people who doubt you, people who enrage you. Fortunately, there is never a shortage of this type of person in the world. . . write for yourself. Write for the story. And write, also, for all of the people who doubt you. Write for all those people who are not brave enough to do this grand and wondrous thing themselves. Let them motivate you.
The public is like a piano. You just have to know what keys to poke.
Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST.
Love is pure and true; love knows no gender.
When love congeals It soon reveals The faint aroma of performing seals, The double-crossing of a pair of heels. I wish I were in love again!
