"Speak you too,speak as the last,say out your say. Speak-But don’t split off No from Yes. Give your say this meaning too:Give it the shadow. Give it shadow enough,Give it as much As you know is spread round you from Midnight to midday and midnight. Look around:See how things all come alive-By death! Alive!Speaks true who speaks shadow. But now the place shrinks, where you stand:Where now, shadow-stripped, where?Climb. Grope upwards. Thinner you grow, less knowable, finer!Finer: a thread The star wants to descend on:So as to swim down beliow, down here Where it sees itself shimmer:in the swell Of wandering words."

"People enjoy inventing slogans which violate basic arithmetic but which illustrate “deeper” truths, such as “1 and 1 make 1” (for lovers), or “1 plus 1 plus 1 equals 1” (the Trinity). You can easily pick holes in those slogans, showing why, for instance, using the plus-sign is inappropriate in both cases. But such cases proliferate. Two raindrops running down a window-pane merge; does one plus one make one? A cloud breaks up into two clouds -more evidence of the same? It is not at all easy to draw a sharp line between cases where what is happening could be called “addition”, and where some other word is wanted. If you think about the question, you will probably come up with some criterion involving separation of the objects in space, and making sure each one is clearly distinguishable from all the others. But then how could one count ideas? Or the number of gases comprising the atmosphere? Somewhere, if you try to look it up, you can probably fin a statement such as, “There are 17 languages in India, and 462 dialects.” There is something strange about the precise statements like that, when the concepts “language” and “dialect” are themselves fuzzy."

"All of them are the same type; girls with overprocessed hair and too much makeup and way too much access to Daddy’s credit cards. Girls who, if you took away the designer labels, hair dye and cover-up, wouldn’t be more than average-looking, but with all that stuff look too plastic to be pretty."

"A charm invests a face Imperfectly beheld,—The lady dare not lift her veil For fear it be dispelled. But peers beyond her mesh,And wishes, and denies,—Lest interview annul a want That image satisfies."

"Wherever you go you will find people lying to you, and as your awareness grows, you will notice that you also lie to yourself. Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves. You have to trust yourself and choose to believe or not to believe what someone says to you."
