“In this universe there might grow roses which sing.”

“And you, CONSTANT READER. Thank God you’re still there after all these years. If you’re having fun, I am, too.”

“Black as night and as beautiful as forever.”

“The truth is in the details.”

“You don't always talk with your mouth. Sometimes what you say with your mouth hardly matters at all. You have to signify”

“no knowledge obtained without risk”

“Money talks, bullshit walks.”

“There was murder, there was rape, there were unspeakable practices, and all of them were for the good, the bloody good, the bloody myth, for the grail, for the Tower.”

“As far as I’m concerned, high school sucked when I went, and probably sucks now. I tend to regard people who remember it as the best four years of their lives with caution and a degree of pity.”

“I’m so afraid that all I can reach will lead me to all I dare not see.”

“Pride was the belt you used to hold your pants up when you had no pants.”

“Coincidences happen, but I've come to believe they are actually quite rare. Something is at work, okay? Somewhere in the universe (or behind it), a great machine is ticking and turning its fabulous gears.”

“All you imagined, no matter how wild it might seem, was no more than a disguised version of what you already knew.”

“So what, ghosts can't hurt you. That's what I thought then.”

“See the TURTLE of enormous girth,
On his shell he holds the earth.
If you want to run and play,
Come along the BEAM today.”

“But now the joy is gone and the sadness is back, the sadness feels like something deserved, the price of some not-quite-forgotten betrayal.”

“Sometimes you had to know. Sometimes you had to.”

“I do have one slightly crooked wheel upstairs, but everything else is ticking along just four-o, thank you very much.”
