Grief is a bad moon, a sleeper wave. it's like having an inner combatant, a saboteur who, at the slightest change in the sunlight, or at the first notes of a jingle for a dog food commercial, will flick the memory switch, bringing tears to your eyes.

If a dog is biting a black man, the black man should kill the dog, whether the dog is a police dog or a hound dog or any kind of dog. if a dog is fixed on a black man when that black man is doing nothing but trying to take advantage of what the government says is supposed to be his, then that black man should kill that dog or any two-legged dog who sets the dog on him.

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.

The seven white notes on the piano - each section of the piece (there are 12 sections) is five of those seven white notes. if you calculate it, there are 21 groups of five notes in any group of seven notes. and although there are 12 sections, this piece actually uses nine of those groups because some of the sections repeat earlier ones. so that's the formula. it's very simple as a way of generating something. it's my inner minimalist.

It seems to me that the great pleasure of human life is not in having an opinion, but rather in learning all the ways you are wrong, and all the nuances you failed to account for, and all the truths that turned out to be not as simple as you once believed. and it seems to me that one of the central pleasures of attending school is that you get to read with really well-informed people who can help welcome you into a complex world stuffed with rich and maddening ambiguity.

You can’t, if you can’t feel it, if it never rises from the soul, and sways the heart of every single hearer, with deepest power, in simple ways. you’ll sit forever, gluing things together, cooking up a stew from other’s scraps, blowing on a miserable fire, made from your heap of dying ash. let apes and children praise your art, if their admiration’s to your taste, but you’ll never speak from heart to heart, unless it rises up from your heart’s space.
