The ant finds kingdoms in a foot of ground.

There is a wilderness we walk alone
However well-companioned

Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.

Don't talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what's good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance.

If you're an underdog, mentally disabled, physically disabled, if you don't fit in, if you're not as pretty as the others, you can still be a hero.

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me want to dream.
