"The time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself."
"Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once."

"I admire Ginsberg as a poet, despite the fact that he seems not to know when he is being good and when he is bad. But he will last, or at least those poems will last."
"I like that people who are not experts can not only understand but get engaged by my work. I like that Joe Paterno can read me. Bill Bradley."
