When first we met we did not guess that Love would prove so hard a master.

I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I'd see the summer garden in rainbow clouds.

When men were all asleep the snow came flying, In large white flakes falling on the city brown, Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying, Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town.

Were I a cloud I'd gather My skirts up in the air, And fly I well know whither, And rest I well know where.

National isolation breeds national neurosis.

The story you are afraid to write is usually the one you are meant to tell.

I'm bringing what I've always wanted: film quality work on television. That's the way it should be.
