In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Maybe it would be better to acknowledge, like the Greeks, that a lot of behavior we call addiction is really a love of pleasure that carries the force of habit.

The secret point of money and power in America is neither the things that money can buy nor power for power's sake... but absolute personal freedom, mobility, privacy.

Didion, Joan
