Excellence Costs A Great Deal.

I See A Certain Order In The Universe And Math Is One Way Of Making It Visible.

I Would Like To Believe When I Die That I Have Given Myself Away Like A Tree That Sows Seed Every Spring And Never Counts The Loss, Because It Is Not Loss, It Is Adding To Future Life. It Is The Tree's Way Of Being. Strongly Rooted Perhaps, But Spilling Out Its Treasure On The Wind.

Solitude Is One Thing And Loneliness Is Another.

... If One Does Not Have Wild Dreams Of Achievement, There Is No Spur Even To Get The Dishes Washed. One Must Think Like A Hero To Behave Like A Merely Decent Human Being.

Poetry Has A Way Of Teaching One What One Needs To Know ... If One Is Honest.
