Every time i look down on this timeless town whether blue or gray be her skies. whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears, more and more do i realize: i love paris in the springtime. i love paris in the fall. i love paris in the winter when it drizzles, i love paris in the summer when it sizzles. i love paris every moment, every moment of the year. i love paris, why, oh why do i love paris? because my love is near.

Cliche refers to words, commonplace to ideas. cliche describes the form or the letter, commonplace the substance or spirit. to confuse them is to confuse the thought with the expression of the thought. the cliche is immediately perceivable; the commonplace very often escapes notice if decked out in original dress. there are few examples, in any literature, of new ideas expressed in original form. the most critical mind must often be content with one or the other of these pleasures, only too happy when it is not deprived of both at once, which is not too rarely the case.

In 1492, the natives discovered they were indians, discovered they lived in america, discovered they were naked, discovered that the sin existed, discovered they owed allegiance to a king and kingdom from another world and a god from another sky, and that this god had invented the guilty and the dress, and had sent to be burnt alive who worships the sun the moon the earth and the rain that wets it.

Your street, rich street or poor used to always be sure, on your street there's a place in your heart you know from the start can't be complete outside of the street keep moving on through the joy and the pain sometimes you got to look back to the street again would you prefer all those castles in spain? or the view of your street from your window pane?

It is no accident that propels people like us to paris. paris is simply an artificial stage, a revolving stage that permits the spectator to glimpse all phases of the conflict. of itself paris initiates no dramas. they are begun elsewhere. paris is simply an obstetrical instrument that tears the living embryo from the womb and puts it in the incubator.

I'm of the opinion that the real is imagined and the imagined is quite real. the real is imagined, in the sense that we shape our stories, so anything that even happens on the news gets shaped in a certain way and gets a texture, and that the imagined can be real.
