"Just as we take a train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star. We cannot get to a star while we are alive any more than we can take the train when we are dead. So to me it seems possible that cholera, tuberculosis and cancer are the celestial means of locomotion. Just as steamboats, buses and railways are the terrestrial means."
-Vincent van Gogh
"I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles."
-Whitman
“Look for me in the weather reports.”
-Saul Bellow
