2 " What if we had walked a different path one day, would some small incident have nudged us elsewhere the way a pebble tossed into a brook might change the course a hundred miles downstream? "
3 " This last mute touch that lingers is farewell. "
4 " Dali dreamed of Hitler as a white-skinned girl- impossibly pale, luminous and lifeless as the moon. "
5 " Breton considered suicide the truest art, though life seemed hardly worth the trouble to discard. "
6 " This is the feast of our mortality, the most mundane and human holiday. "
7 " The world does not need words. It articulates itselfin sunlight, leaves, and shadows. The stones on the pathare no less real for lying uncatalogued and uncounted.The fluent leaves speak only the dialect of pure being. "
