We're headed for what is called type 1 civilization, planetary civilization. type 2 would be stellar civilization, like star trek. type 3 civilization would be galactic, like star wars. we are type 0. we get our energy from dead plants, oil and coal. but the question is: will we make it? will we make the transition from type 0 to type 1? it's not clear.

As far as i'm concerned, the world is composed of stories. for architects, the world is composed of buildings, for actors the world is composed of theatres, or whatever... for me, the world is simply composed of stories, when i look, that's what i see.

Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.

The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.

I went away and cried to the master of the universe, "what have you done to me? a mind like this i need for a son? a heart i need for a son, a soul i need for a son, compassion i want from my son, righteousness, mercy, strength to suffer and carry pain, that i want from my son, not a mind without a soul!"

Not only is the napoleonic dream stronger today in our imaginations than it has ever been, but one can already feel the slow falling away of moral opprobrium from our memory of hitler. in another fifty years we may well find ourselves weighed down by a second monstrous dream of pure grandeur to match that of the emperor. two men who dared. two men who were adored. two men who led with brilliance. two men who administered fairly and efficiently. two men who were modest in their own needs but surrounded by lesser beings who profited from their situation and came between the hero and the people.

It is a very curious thing about superstition. one would expect that the man who had once seen his morbid dreams were not fulfilled would abandon them for the future; but on the contrary they grow even stronger just as the love of gambling increases in a man who has once lost in a lottery.

Babies aren't really born of their parents. they are born of every kind word, loving gesture, hope, and dream their parents ever had.

Once you have learned to trust your own voice and allowed that creative force inside you to come out, you can direct it to write short stories, novels, and poetry, do revisions, and so on. you have the basic tool to fulfill your writing dreams. but beware. this type of writing will uncover other dreams you have, too-going to tibet, being the first woman president of the united states, building a solar studio in new mexico-and they will be in black and white. it will be harder to avoid them.

If literature has engaged me as a project, first as a reader, then as a writer, it is as an extension of my sympathies to other selves, other domains, other dreams, other territories.
