"I feel the only thing you can do about life is to preserve it, by art if you're an artist, by children if you're not."

Previous Quote

I know already that I will return to this day whenever I want to. I can bid it alive. Preserve it. There is a still point where the present, the now, winds around itself, and nothing is tangled. The river is not where it begins or ends, but right in the middle point, anchored by what has happened and what is to arrive.
