Would Be Looks Canyons

More From Nadine Gordimer

Perhaps there is no other way of reaching some understanding of being than through art? writers themselves don't analyze what they do; to analyze would be to look down while crossing a canyon on a tightrope. to say this is not to mystify the process of writing but to make an image out of the intense inner concentration the writer must have to cross the chasms of the aleatory and make them the word's own, as an explorer plants a flag.

At this sunset hour, the canyon walls are indescribably beautiful and i fear the magic of photography can never record what i see now. the tall spires near the canyon's top and the walls of the canyon up there look as if god had reached out and swiped a brush of golden paint across them, gilding these rocks in the bright glow of the setting sun.

Ask anyone in america where the craziest people live and they'll tell you california. ask anyone in california where the craziest people live and they'll say los angeles. ask anyone in los angeles where the craziest people live and they'll tell you hollywood. ask anyone in hollywood where the craziest people live and they'll say laurel canyon. and ask anyone in laurel canyon where the craziest people live and they'll say lookout mountain. so i bought a house on lookout mountain.

Well, once you've been in the canyon and once you've sort of fallen in love with it, it never ends...it's always been a fascinating place to me, in fact i've often said that if i ever had a mistress it would be the grand canyon.

I think the ideal job in that alternative universe would be to lead whitewater rafting trips through the grand canyon. so maybe i'd be a guy leading whitewater rafting trips at the grand canyon. or maybe a professional skydiver.

There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods, the canyon of the colorado, the canyon of the yellowstone, the three tetons; and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children's children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred.

When you read the [twilight series], it's like saying 'edward cullen is so beautiful i creamed myself'. i mean every line is like that. he's the most ridiculous person who's so amazing at everything. i think a lot of actors tried to play that aspect. i just couldn't do it. and the more i read the script, the more i hated this guy, so that's how i played him, as a manic-depressive who hates himself. plus, he's a 108-year old virgin, so there's clearly some issues there

... when he saw her sitting there all alone, so young, and good, and beautiful, and kind to him; and heard her thrilling voice, so natural and sweet, and such a golden link between him and all his life's love and happiness, rising out of the silence; he turned his face away, and hid his tears.

The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.

Roxane: his face is like yours, burning with spirit and imagination. he is proud and noble and young and fearless and beautiful- cyrano:(losing all his colour.) beautiful! roxane: yes. what's wrong? cyrano: with me? nothing. it's only... only... (displaying his bandaged hand, with a little smile.) this fatal wound.
