Lyon knew she wasn't aware she was being watched, either. she wouldn't have eaten the leaf otherwise, or reached for another. “sir, which one is princess christina?” andrew asked lyon, just as rhone started in choking on his laughter. rhone has obviously been watching christina, too. “sir?” “the blond-headed one,” lyon muttered, shaking his head. he watched in growing disbelief as christina daintily popped another leaf into her mouth. “which blond-headed one?” andrew persisted. “the one eating the shrubs.

Live in the present. the past is gone; the future is unknown -- but the present is real, and your opportunities are now. you must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. the catch is that they can't seem real if your mind is buried in past failures, if you keep reliving old mistakes, old guilts, old tragedies. fight your way above the many inevitable traumatizations of your ego, escape damnation by the past, and look to the opportunities of the present. i don't mean some vague moment in the present -- next week or next month, perhaps. i mean today, this minute.

It was like the classic scene in the movies where one lover is on the train and one is on the platform and the train starts to pull away, and the lover on the platform begins to trot along and then jog and then sprint and then gives up altogether as the train speeds irrevocably off. except in this case i was all the parts: i was the lover on the platform, i was the lover on the train. and i was also the train.

Harry's status as orphan gives him a freedom other children can only dream about (guiltily, of course). no child wants to lose their parents, yet the idea of being removed from the expectations of parents is alluring. the orphan in literature is freed from the obligation to satisfy his/her parents, and from the inevitable realization that his/her parents are flawed human beings. there is something liberating, too, about being transported into the kind of surrogate family which boarding school represents, where the relationships are less intense and the boundaries perhaps more clearly defined.

I specially want to have young women not to wait as i did until my children were grown, but young women to come in to gain their seniority so they could be respected leaders at a much earlier age. it's important for all women to see young women who share their experience whether it's as a working mom with young children, who understands the struggle and the aspirations of young women in a similar situation. and if they don't have family and they're pursuing their career women should see that as well.

That was a piece i did in 1963 with konrad lueg in a department store, in the furniture department. it was announced in some papers as an exhibition opening, but the people who came didn't know that it was to be a sort of happening. i don't think it is quite right that it has become so famous anyhow. it was just a lot of fun, and the word itself, capitalist realism, hit just right. but it wasn't such a big deal.
