“Across this dazzling
Mediterranean
August morning
The dolphins write such
Ideograms:
With power to wake
Me prisoned in
My human speech
They sign: 'I AM!”

“You are my thought that happily it in the morning wakes me up and that at night sweetly I fall asleep.”

“Write by WASTE. The government will open it if you use the other. The dolphins will be mad. Love the dolphins.”

“I am fighting when I'm sleeping. In my dreams, I must slay the dragon of European heterosexual male society, then I wake up in the morning and be an activist.”

“I still wake with your name on my lips every morning.”

“If, when you wake up in the morning, you can think of nothing but writing… then you are a writer.”

“I shall keep my book on the table here, and read a little every morning as soon as I wake, for I know it will do me good, and help me through the day.”

“I have a gift. I am a human alarm clock. I wake people up to themselves. You can hit the snooze and ignore me but eventually you’ll have to wake up.”

“Each morning my characters greet me with misty faces willing, though chilled, to muster for another day's progress through the dazzling quicksand the marsh of blank paper.”

“I cannot write anything about landscape without writing about the human figure and the human spirit inhabiting the landscape, for me, the whole art sculpture is a fusion of these two element – the balance of sensation and the evocation of man in his universe. Every work in sculpture is either a figure I see, or a sensation I have, whether in Yorkshire, Cornwall or Greece, or the Mediterranean.”
