我们读诗写诗并不是因为它好玩。我们读诗写诗是因为我们是人类的一分子。而人类是充满激情的。没错、医学、法律、商业、工程，这些都是崇高的追求，足以支撑人的一生。但诗歌...美丽、浪漫、爱情...这些才是我们生活的意义。
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.
The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.
The best decisions are made with both data and intuition.
I believe in the power of music to change lives.
The body is not a thing, it is a situation: it is our grasp on the world and our sketch of our project.
