Now that I have lost you I cannot allow you to develop, you must be a photograph not a poem.

I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy.

Art can make a difference because it pulls people up short. It says, don't accept things for their face value; you don't have to go along with any of this; you can think for yourself.

I don't know how to answer. I know what I think, but words in the head are like voices underwater. They are distorted.

I felt like a seed in a pomegranate. Some say that the pomegranate was the real apple of Eve, fruit of the womb, I would eat my way into perdition to taste you.

Happiness is a specific. Misery is a generalization. People usually know exactly why they are happy. They very rarely know why they are miserable.

Quest is at the heart of what I do-the holy grail, and the terror that you'll never find it, seemed a perfect metaphor for life.

Life cannot be calculated. That's the big mistake our civilization made. We never accepted that randomness is not a mistake in the equation -- it is part of the equation.

The biggest sin in Satanism is not murder, nor is it kindness. It is stupidity.

There comes a moment as a parent when you realize you will no longer be the center of your child's universe.

I am not in any way opposed to medieval studies (or for that matter Latin).

I was in Shanghai recently, where Twitter is blocked, and yet there were ads and billboards across town with hashtags on them.

The new leader is a facilitator, not an order giver.

The most influential person in Europe in the last 20 to 30 years has been Margaret Thatcher. Without her we'd all be living in some French bloody unemployed republic.

Trust as little as you can to report, and examine all you can by your own senses.

I think Bush is amateurish and self-serving, and frankly, it's disgusting.

Israel is my past. My two boys are my future.

All natural happiness thus seems infected with a contradiction. The breath of the sepulchre surrounds it.
