“I should know who I am by now.
I walk the record stands somehow.
Thinking of winter.
Your name is the splinter inside me.
While I wait.”

“I am not I.
I am this one
walking beside me whom I do not see,
whom at times I manage to visit,
and whom at other times I forget;
who remains calm and silent while I talk,
and forgives, gently, when I hate,
who walks where I am not,
who will remain standing when I die.”

Juan Ramón Jimenéz (1881–1958) Spanish poet

“I was clear, Alice Toklas says and very often mistaken but anyway I am clear I am a good American, I am slow-minded and quickly clear in expression, I am certain that I see everything that is seen and in between I stand around but I do not wait, no American can wait he can stand around and do nothing but he cannot wait, that is why he is not like Milton who served by standing and waiting, Americans can neither serve nor wait, they can stand and sit down and get up and walk around but they can neither serve nor wait.”

Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) American art collector and experimental writer of novels, poetry and plays

Can't be blamed for harboring grudges.

At a porcupine that sat on a splinter.”

“I am the entertainer and I know just where I stand
Another serenader and another long haired band
Today I am your champion, I may have won your hearts,
But I know the game, you'll forget my name,
And I won't be here in another year
If I don't stay on the charts.”

Billy Joel (1949) American singer-songwriter and pianist

Song lyrics, Streetlife Serenade (1974)

“I used to be ashamed
And now I am proud.
The world once was black
And now it is bright.
I used to walk head bent
And now I stand up tall.
I used to have dreams
But now I have hope.”

Judith McNaught (1944) American writer
