More From Ali MacGraw

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

My biggest faults is that the faults i was born with grow bigger each year. it's like i was raising chickens inside me. the chickens lay eggs and the eggs hatch into other chickens, which then lay eggs. is this any way to live a life? what with all these faults i've got going, i have to wonder. sure, i get by. but in the end, that's not the question, is it?

You know what i am going to say. i love you. what other men may mean when they use that expression, i cannot tell. what i mean is that i am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which i have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. you could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything i have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. this and the confusion of my thoughts, so that i am fit for nothing, is what i mean by your being the ruin of me.

Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.
Grace Touching Skins
People think that alien spaceships would be solid and made of metal and have lights all over them and move slowly through the sky because that is how we would build a spaceship if we were able to build one that big. but aliens, if they exist, would probably be very different from us. they might look like big slugs, or be flat like reflections. or they might be bigger than planets. or they might not have bodies at all. they might just be information, like in a computer. and their spaceships might look like clouds, or be made up of unconnected objects like dust or leaves.

Hot blood begets hot thoughts, and hot thoughts beget hot deeds, and hot deeds is love.

Red is one of the strongest colors, it's blood, it has a power with the eye. that's why traffic lights are red i guess, and stop signs as well.... in fact i use red in all of my paintings.
