Words I Live By

“I love poetry because it makes me love.” – Gregory Corso | "Als das Kind Kind war, ging es mit hängenden Armen, wollte der Bach sei ein Fluß, der Fluß sei ein Strom, und diese Pfütze das Meer." – Peter Handke | "I sold out. I bought into happiness." – Me | "The young are adventurous with their bodies. The old, adventurous with their minds." – Me | "Check it, bleed. Folks was freak-in'. But Bro stayed cool, didn't trip... He laid that Mutha to the bone... It was ON!" – The Witness in Airplane! II, as paraphrased by my brother, Nick, in many a late night bull session | "Texas is my favorite country. In Texas there is more interest in carrying out the American dream than anywhere else in the United States--" – Philip Johnson | "I'm not a Beatnik, I'm a Catholic." – Jack Kerouac
