I really like the director [for weeds]. i don't know if you've spoken to him yet but he's really, really intelligent. he was just really kind when i met him and nice and really told me why i should play the part...and kind of really didn't argue with him. he's just really, really smart and assembled these really great people. i felt like he really knows how to enlist his intelligence to get you - i don't know - he's really hard to argue with i find.

You're english," he said. "and i will therefore make certain allowances for you. i realize you don't understand you shouldn't argue with me, and so i'll explain it to you. don't argue with me." incredulous, she said, "that's it? 'don't argue with me' is your explanation as to why i shouldn't argue with you?

The answer is never the answer. what's really interesting is the mystery. if you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. i've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. so they stop thinking. but the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. the need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all i know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry. it's a condition of faith that it gets lost from time to time, or at least mislaid.

Vanish. pass into nothingness: the keats line that frightened her. fade as the blue nights fade, go as the brightness goes. go back into the blue. i myself placed her ashes in the wall. i myself saw the cathedral doors locked at six. i know what it is i am now experiencing. i know what the frailty is, i know what the fear is. the fear is not for what is lost. what is lost is already in the wall. what is lost is already behind the locked doors. the fear is for what is still to be lost. you may see nothing still to be lost. yet there is no day in her life on which i do not see her.

The argument for collectivism is simple if false; it is an immediate emotional argument. the argument for individualism is subtle and sophisticated; it is an indirect rational argument. and the emotional faculties are more highly developed in most men than the rational, paradoxically or especially even in those who regard themselves as intellectuals.

What interested me about chuck berry was the way he could step out of the rhythm part with such ease, throwing in a nice, simple riff, and then drop straight into the feel of it again. we used to play a lot more rhythm stuff. we'd do away with the differences between lead and rhythm guitar. you can't go into a shop and ask for a "lead guitar". you're a guitar player, and you play a guitar.

People think that to love is simple, but that to find the right object to love - or to be loved by - is difficult.
Simple Love Is Thinking
It is in the twenties that the actual momentum of life begins to slacken, and it is a simple soul indeed to whom as many things are as significant and meaningful at thirty as at ten years before. at thirty an organ-grinder is a more or less a moth eaten man who grinds an organ - and once he was an organ-grinder! the unmistakable stigma of humanity touches all those impersonal and beautiful things that only youth ever grasps in their impersonal glory.
