• I did grow up next door to Steve McQueen, who was a very famous movie star at the time, but as a kid it didn't impress me. We always had great fun with him. He would take us out on Sundays on his motorcycles, riding around in the desert; he was like a second father.

  The silken sound of whirled infinity
  Is lost in voices shouting to be heard.

• At certain junctures in the course of existence, unique moments occur when everyone and everything, even the most distant stars, combine to bring about something that could not have happened before and will never happen again. Few people know how to take advantage of these critical moments, unfortunately, and they often pass unnoticed. When someone does recognize them, however, great things happen in the world.

• Why is it we love so fully what has washed up on the beaches
  of our hearts, those lost messages, lost friends, the daylight stars
  we never get to see? Bad luck never takes a vacation, my friend
  once wrote. It lies there among the broken shells and stones
  we collect, a story he would say begins with you, with me,
  a story that is forever lost among the backwaters of our lives,
  our endless fear of ourselves, and our endless need for hope,
  a story, perhaps an answer, a word suddenly on wing, the simple
  sound of a torn heart, or the unmistakable scent of the morning's fading moon.

  Richard Jackson

• For a painter, the Mecca of the world for study, for inspiration, and for living is here on this star called Paris. Just look at it. No wonder so many artists have come here and called it home. Brother, if you can't paint in Paris, you'd better give up and marry the boss's daughter.

• Sometimes I think of Abraham
  How one star he saw had been lit for me
  He was a stranger in this land
  And I am that, no less than he
  And on this road to righteousness
  Sometimes the climb can be so steep
  I may falter in my steps
  But never beyond your reach

• To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe, to bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go, to right the unrightable wrong, to love pure and chaste from afar, to try when your arms are too weary, to reach the unreachable star. This is my quest, to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far. To fight for the right, without question or pause, to be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause. And I know if I’ll only be true to this glorious quest that my heart will be peaceful and calm when I’m laid to my rest.
