More From Shirley Hazzard

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

It's not sufficient in the internet age to communicate through the media; you have to be able to do it on the ground, door by door, coffee shop by coffee shop, shop floor by shop floor. you really have to do that as well.

Our guys took shop and advanced shop. shop is when you make a chair. advanced shop is when you paint it.

I had started acting when i was 7, and i was always wrong. i would always get to the very end [of the audition], but i wasn't a perfect package of one thing. i wasn't a cliche, and it always worked against me. i wasn't pretty enough to play the popular girl, i wasn't mousy enough to be the mousy girl. then there was a tv show that toni collette was starring in. and when a role to play a girl who was struggling with identity came, i thought: "oh, this is what i was supposed to do. everything's leading up to this moment." i was 18. i was like, "this is it." i didn't get it. and i was devastated.

I wasn't involved in anything. i wasn't out - you know, i know i wasn't in act up. i wasn't with larry kramer. i wasn't by his side. i wasn't saying what i should do, because, by all accounts, i was a drug addict and an alcoholic. and i was living in a complete bubble of self-absorption.

I don't admire freud as much as some people do. imagine shakespeare being aware of the oedipal complex when he wrote hamlet. it would have been a disaster.

Napster works because people who love music share and participate.

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.

I've wasted a lot of time pretending to be interested in people who weren't terribly interesting.

I think people have a vague sense that the television system is changing.
