“Now and then, when I grow nostalgic about my ocean childhood - the wauling of gulls and the smell of salt, somebody solicitous will bundle me into a car and drive me to the nearest briny horizon.”

“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.”

“Is it the sea you hear in me,”

“The biggest lie in the world is in answer to the question, 'How are you?' People usually say, 'I'm fine,' but that's mostly bull. Everyone wants to display being perfect. They tell themselves and their friends, 'I drive this car, I own this house, I'm fine.' People ball up into these tight wads of repression.”

“I don't mind if someone yells a motto out of their car at me. 'No touching! No touching!' No harm is done.”

“My first car was a BMW. A white BMW.”
