It is good if you feel that you go all the way out to the end of yourself. That is a fair definition of health.

Look very closely. Look very closely at everything.

Nothing says "good morning" like total decadence.

If there is any such thing as beauty, it is in this picture somewhere.

This is my space ship. It is also my time ship. I fly through billionths of a second, like stars. The smallest parts of creation talk in the language of light, to me, as I fly with them.

I was given this oscilloscope to solve, like a zen koan. What has 78 tubes and sketches microseconds in the dark? What is the sound of time changing its mind a million times a second?

This is a sketch of a few microseconds, drawn by electrons. We don't even know if there are electrons, exactly. But we like the pictures they draw for us.

Next time you see something beautiful, notice what is just between it, and its shadow.

Sara is pleased with what she sees and hears. The chandelier and the crysanthemums play catch with the light, and she opens her heart to someone who is laughing.

We have perfected the baking of chicken. We have perfected the art of eating at home. Now we will study the mystery of gutters and downspouts.

Old appliances speed through town in a wooden box on wheels. The box could break, the appliances could fall on your car. Go into your kitchen right now, and explain to your appliances how fragile human life is.

When I see you around here, I want to explain things to you. I wonder what your family thinks of you.

If you see the palm of your hand in a dream, you are being given advice. If you see the palm of your hand in real life, you don't have any money in your hand.
