    • Love, if you love me, lie next to me. Be for me, like rain, the getting out of the tiredness, the fatuousness, the semi- lust of intentional indifference. Be wet with a decent happiness.
    • Again like Williams, with the emphasis now regrettable, when a man makes a poem, makes it mind you, he takes the words as he finds them lying interrelated about him.
    • It’s the classic story form. All staying equal, or proving equal, or being equal, this will all continue, and the next time around, we’ll move on to see what happened to Harry after he dove in the river, or who his friend John really was, and so on.
    • There are a lot of editorials that have nothing to do with anything like that. But I was just thinking of that sense of prose as being very responsible and perceptive, thoughtful, intimate, and contriving a quote statement.

    • Don’t name it, as they say, because instantly you offer it to this peculiar authority.

    • I know this body is impatient. I know I constitute only a meager voice and mind. Yet I loved, I love. I want no sentimentality. I want no more than home.
    • It’s as though all the terms of a family were present at one time rather than his dad and his mum. Not just a present authority, but the resident memory of what qualifies what else is the case.
    • The irony of our social group is that so often everyone feels this, but there’s no company whatsoever in that feeling. Think of Pound’s great emphasis, the way out is via the door.

    • I found that old Solomon proved it fair, That a big-belly’d bottle’s a cure for all care.
    • Even thou who mournst the daisy’s fate, that fate is thine.
    • Unmatch’d at the bottle, unconquer’d in war, He drank his poor god-ship as deep as the sea; No tide of the Baltic e’er drunker than he.

    • This world’s no blot for us, Nor blank; it means intensely, and means good: To find its meaning is my meat and drink.
    • One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph.

    • The room was plainly but adequately furnished; she noted the shower stall in the bathroom beyond. Actually, she would have preferred a tub, but this would do.
    • Mary started to scream, and then the curtains parted further and a hand appeared, holding a butcher’s knife. It was the knife that, a moment later, cut off her scream. And her head.

    • Men make clothes for the women they’d like to be with or in most cases the women they’d like to be.
    • Maybe there’s a chance to get back to grown-up films. Anything that uses humor and dramatic values to deal with human emotions and gets down to what people are to people.
    • If you have a child who is seven feet tall, you don’t cut off his head or his legs. You buy him a bigger bed and hope he plays basketball.
    • I want to see something that I’ve never seen before, so how can I tell that actor what that is? I’m not trying to construct a document or situation that is what I want, because what I want is something new to me.
    • I’ll give you the same advice I give my children: Never take advice from anybody.
    • I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don’t know what’s on the other end. Your imagination is under there.
    • I don’t think screenplay writing is the same as writing – I mean, I think it’s blueprinting.
    • Chance is another name that we give to our mistakes. And all of the best things in my films are mistakes.
    • Making a movie is like chipping away at a stone. You take a piece off here, you take a piece off there and when you’re finished, you have a sculpture. You know that there’s something in there, but you’re not sure exactly what it is until you find it.
    • I insist that they do what they became actors to do. I want them to create something and not just hit marks and say words. So they all love that because they’re playing. It’s called playacting. Their contributions are not only welcomed, but are accepted and used.

    • There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.
    • A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.
    • Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other “sins” are invented nonsense.
    • Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.
