My parents are artists in their world, in the world of modern artists, you are supposed to just go into your studio and tune everything out, and your entire relationship with your work is supposed to be a super private one.

Saint Teresa of Avila

Gary Bauer

I would as soon write free verse as play tennis with the net down.

Robert Frost

America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that's 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs.

Thomas Mcguane

Charles Caleb Colton

The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.

Charles Dickens

Carl Gustav Jung
