When it comes to atoms language can be used only as in poetry. The poet too is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images.

Pain is filtered in a poem so that it becomes finally in the end pleasure.

I've been lucky. I've made films that I really like. It's been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. I've gone after lots of things that I didn't get pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really you're lucky if you get anything.

Environmentalists hate sprawl - except when it comes to the size of their expansive pet legislation on Capitol Hill.

The trouble with a kitten is that eventually it becomes a cat.

A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.

Parents are key when it comes to keeping kids off drugs. Good parenting is the best anti-drug we have.

If there is any truth to my parenting the dreamwork movement it comes from the power of the press.

Ah the power of two. There's nothing quite like it. Especially when it comes to paying utility bills parenting cooking elaborate meals purchasing a grown-up bed jumping rope and lifting heavy machinery. The world favours pairs. Who wants to waste the wood building an ark for singletons?
