The representational-image urge is actually a kind of heightened perception, and I don't stop to think. I don't freeze up, it's actually a kind of letting-go. It's like dancing. At a certain point it's conscious, unconscious, everything is kind of coming together. ~Michael Light

I had got this far, and was thinking of what to say next, and as my habit is, I was pricking the paper idly with my pen.

I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch
