No, sir, I make it a rule of mine: the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask."
"Do you train for passing tests or do you train for creative inquiry?"
"What does that quote mean to you? Can you explain the concept behind it and not just repeat the pretty phrase to me?"

"The little flowers grew everywhere around the rocks, and no one had asked them to grow, or me to grow."
