What the art historians had forgotten is that in chinese, japanese, persian, and indian art, they never painted shadows. why did they paint shadows in european art? shadows are because of optics. optics need shadows and strong light. strong light makes the deepest shadows. it took me a few years to realize fully that the art historians didn't grasp that. there are a lot of interesting new things, ideas, pictures.

I won't miss having to stand for two hours at 4:30 a.m. and have freezing cold glue applied to my feet. i won't miss two-hour drives to work or long, long, long days sitting in my trailer waiting...waiting...waiting. i won't miss one day off a week. i won't miss glue in my ears. but i would do it all again tomorrow.

But for every hour and a half on stage, you have a five hour long bus ride, waiting for five hours at the airport, five hours of interviews... i know, it's part of the job, but that doesn't imply i have to like it.

Toward seven o'clock every morning, i leave my study and step out on the bright terrace; the sun already burns resplendent between the shadows of the fig tree, makes the low wall of coarse granite warm to the touch. here my tools lie ready and waiting, each one an intimate, an ally: the round basket for weeds: the zappetta, the small hoe with a short haft . . . there's a rake here as well, at at times a mattock and spade, or two watering cans filled with water warmed by the sun. with my basket and small hoe in hand, facing the sun, i go out for my morning walk.

The good thing about writing books is that you can dream while you are awake. if it’s a real dream, you cannot control it. when writing the book, you are awake; you can choose the time, the length, everything. i write for four or five hours in the morning and when the time comes, i stop. i can continue the next day. if it’s a real dream, you can’t do that.

I walk alone, assaulted it seems, by tears from heaven.
Love Dream Heaven
I have outlasted all desire, my dreams and i have grown apart; my grief alone is left entire, the gleamings of an empty heart. the storms of ruthless dispensation have struck my flowery garland numb, i live in lonely desolation and wonder when my end will come. thus on a naked tree-limb, blasted by tardy winter's whistling chill, a single leaf which has outlasted its season will be trembling still.
Dream Lonely Grief
