• 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.

• What we want
  is never simple.
  We move among the things
  we thought we wanted:
  a face, a room, an open book
  and these things bear our names -
  now they want us.
  But what we want appears
  in dreams, wearing disguises.
  We fall past,
  holding out our arms
  and in the morning
  our arms ache.
  We don't remember the dream,
  but the dream remembers us.
  It is there all day
  as an animal is there
  under the table,
  as the stars are there.

• Stars, too, were time travelers. How many of these ancient points of light were the last echoes of suns now dead? How many had been born but their light not yet come this far? If all the suns but ours collapsed tonight, how many lifetimes would it take us to realize that we were alone? I had always known the sky was full of mysteries - but not until now had I realized how full of them the earth was.
