.. Elaine Stritch @ Walmart - From "The Big Gay Sketch Show" on FunnyOrDie.com ..
"Certain words now in our knowledge we will not use again, and we will never forget them. We need them. Like the back of the picture. Like our marrow, and the color in our veins. We shine the lantern of our sleep on them, to make sure, and there they are, trembling already for the day of witness. They will be buried with us, and rise with the rest."
- W. S. Merwin
"At it's best, music serves as an instrument of self-mastery and compassion. It is an experience of deep level communication - both between band members and between an artist and an audience alike. It unifies them. It inspires awe and human self-respect. It produces self-forgetting and joy. It keeps the lonely company, consoles the broken-hearted. It bespeaks possibilities of hope and grace and presents us with the keys to the secret doors within us all."
- Kurt Elling
"Simply put, knowledge corresponds to the past; it is technology. Wisdom is the future; it is philosophy. It is people's hearts that move the age. While knowledge may provide useful point of reference, it cannot become a force to guide the future. By contrast, wisdom captivates people's hearts and has the power to open a new age. Wisdom is the key to understanding the age, creating the time."
- Herbie Hancock
"Stretched out on the grass
a boy and a girl.
like waves exchanging foam.
Stretched out on the beach
a boy and a girl.
Savoring their limes, giving their kisses
like clouds exchanging foam.
Stretched out underground
a boy and a girl.
Saying nothing, never kissing,
giving silence for silence."
- Octavio Paz
"Night with the eyes of a horse that trembles in the night,
night with eyes of water in the field asleep
is in your eyes, a horse that trembles,
is in your eyes of a secret water.
Eyes of shadow-water,
eyes of well-water,
eyes of dream-water.
Silence and solitude,
two little animals moon-led,
drink in your eyes,
drink in those waters.
If you open your eyes,
night opens, doors of musk,
the secret kingdom of the water opens
flowing from the center of night.
And if you close your eyes,
a river fills you from within,
flows forward, darkens you:
night brings its wetness to beaches in your soul.
- Octavio Paz
