Let whoever wants to, relax in the south, And bask in the garden of paradise.Here is the essence of north—and it's autumnI've chosen as this year's friend.

You will hear thunder and remember me, And think: she wanted storms. The rim Of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire.

Song falls silent, music is dumb, But the air burns with their fragrance, And white winter, on its knees, Observes everything with reverent attention.

I marvel at everything as if it were new.

If you were music, I would listen to you ceaselessly, and my low spirits would brighten up.

And in the depths of music, I didn’t find the answer, And again there was silence, and again the ghost of summer.

I know: yes, no, even I must tear offThe delicate daisy petals.Everyone on earth is destined to feelThe torments of love.

I’m not weeping, I’m not complaining, Happiness is not for me.

But I am not allowed to forgetThe taste of the tears of yesterday.

I defendNot my voice, but my silence

And you know, I agree to everything:I will condemn, I will forget, I will give comfort to the enemy, Darkness will be light and sin lovely.

When you are so insignificant your choices don't really matter, the waves you create are like grain of sand landing in the ocean.

You folks been following the big British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? I'm telling you, British Petroleum has put more birds in oil than Colonel Sanders.

I cried at my son's sports day, for God's sake. I'm a huge baby

I want a lot to eat, I'm going to think today.

I'm a little tired of people who have very big moral positions and very small power in reality.

The truth came slowly like a story told by people interrupting each other.

Loving, like prayer, is a power as well as a process. It's curative. It is creative.
