Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.
Wall Artist Light
Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.

For my father the one calamity was that my brother and sister and i never learned to swim. my father, who was very macho, was a strong swimmer and was terribly disappointed to have children who didn't swim. once when my mother was sitting in a beach chair - i can still see the big umbrella - she called to my father, "throw them in! throw them in! they'll swim!" so he did. then he looked down, and there were the three sendak children lying perfectly still underwater, not fighting for life!

He that can swim needs not despair to fly; to swim is to fly in a grosser fluid, and to fly is to swim in a subtler. we are only to proportion our power of resistance to the different density of matter through which we are to pass. you will be necessarily upborne by the air if you can renew any impulse upon it faster than the air can recede from the pressure.

I have to say that the simpsons comes from a huge number of great writers headed by al jean, the show-runner, and the work that they do is really fantastic. it's a blast just to sit around with them in the writers' room and listen to all the filthy jokes that will never get on the air.

You know, i've walked this earth for over eleven thousand years, my lady. i have seen things in my life that are unimaginable to you, and you ask me if i doubt you? lady, i doubt the very air you breathe. (acheron)
Air Years Doubt
We breathe the free air, we have the best looking men and handsomest women, and if they envy our position, well they may, for they are a poor, narrow minded, pinch-backed race of man, who chain themselves down to the law of monogamy and live all their days under the dominion of one wife. they aught to be ashamed of such conduct, and the still fouler channel which flows from their practices.
