George Harrison
In love there are things --- bodies and words.

Of all the works of man I like best
Those which have been used.
The copper pots with their dents and flattened edges

I have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks... or lay down on a couch, and think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries.

Allen Ginsberg
The most wasted day of all is that during which we have not laughed.

So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,

Cast my memory back there, Lord

Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl.

Richard Gere
Most of the time you don't even know they're there. Now, that's the scary thing. It's really strange and invading, but I'm still working it all out. I try to not let it bother me. And if I want to swim naked in my pool, I'm still going to do it. I certainly don't want to feel that I have to change everything in my life that I do to cater to them. I just won't let it happen.

London Sunday Correspondent
I would not have known at the time, for I was too young to realize that I was supposed to have a live-in father, just as I was too young to know that I needed a race. From an improbably short span it seems that my father fell under the same spell as my mother and her parents; and for the first six years of my life, even as that spell was broken and the worlds that they thought they'd left behind reclaimed each of them, I occupied the place where their dreams had been.

Trust in your preparation.
Davie Sheppard
