The Moon and Pleiades have set, / Midnight is nigh, / The time is passing, passing, yet / Alone I lie.

You may forget but let me tell you this: someone in some future time will think of us

Beauty endures only for as long as it can be seen; goodness, beautiful today, will remain so tomorrow.

What cannot be said will be wept.

Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us

Whatever one loves most is beautiful.

Once again love drives me on, that loosener of limbs, bittersweet creature against which nothing can be done.

Although only breath, words which I command are immortal.

Stand and face me, my love,and scatter the grace in your eyes.

All the while, believe me, I prayed our night would last twice as long.

Love shook my heart/ Like the wind on the mountain/ Troubling the oak-trees

Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information it is a creative human activity.

If the skies fall, one may hope to catch larks.

Everyone should know--there's no such thing as a decent human being. It's just an illusion. And when it's gone, it's really gone.

Wrinkles happen to human beings.

My wife and I, Delice and I, are empty nesters.

The hours here are flat and round, disks of gray layered one on top of the other...they move slowly, at a grind, until it seems as though they are not moving at all. They are just pressing down.

The truth always turns out to be simpler than you thought.

Smell is the voice of the soul.

The idol of today pushes the hero of yesterday out of our recollection; and will, in turn, be supplanted by his successor of tomorrow.

You bring joy and pain in equal measure. Joy because you are with me, but pain because it wont be for long.
