I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.

We have a strange and wonderful relationship - he's strange and I'm wonderful.

As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.

The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar is the test of their power.

Also as I lay there thinking of my vision I could see it all again and feel the meaning with a part of me like a strange power glowing in my body but when the part of me that talks would try to make words for the meaning it would be like fog and get away from me.

It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty or to seek power over others and to lose power over a man's self.

For to be a stranger is naturally a very positive relation it is a specific form of interaction.

Inauthenticity is endemic in American politics today. The political backrooms where I spent much of my career were just as benighted as my personal life equally crowded with shadowy strangers and compromises truths I hoped to deny. I lived not in one closet but in many.

Politics makes strange bedfellows.

I will not leave a corner of my consciousness covered up but saturate myself with the strange and extraordinary new conditions of this life and it will all refine itself into poetry later on.
