Loneliness is an aspect of the land.

I wonder if, in the dark night of the sea, the octopus dreams of me.

In the beginning was the word, and it was spoken.

Anything is bearable if you can make a story out of it.

A word has power in and of itself. It comes from nothing into sound and meaning; it gives origin to all things.

If you believe in the power of words, you can bring about physical changes in the universe.

Words were medicine; they were magic and invisible. They came from nothing into sound and meaning. They were beyond price; they could neither be bought nor sold.

I sometimes think the contemporary white American is more culturally deprived than the Indian.

It's a landscape that has to be seen to be believed. And, as I say on occasion, it may have to be believed in order to be seen.

For the storyteller, for the arrowmaker, language does indeed represent the only chance for survival.

God gives His deepest discernment and sharpest marksmanship to men who aim to expose His truth before an enemy's lies.

He's lost his colour very far from here, Poured it down shell-holes till the veins ran dry

How do you trust a government whose people are proved to be untrustworthy?

If you don't have to lie, you don't have to remember anything. You can just go. That's really where I'm at. It's just making it up as I go along.

Patsy Cline belongs shoulder-to-shoulder with Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.

I know other astronauts share my feelings.... And we know the government is sitting on hard evidence of UFOs.

I am not the world's most confident person.

In life the only thing that you can expect is the unexpected; the only surprise is a day that has none.

Where desire ends up causing suffering is when it fixates.

It's much easier to be at peace than it is to hate somebody. It's much easier to love somebody than to fight with them.
