“The child is father of the man.”

“Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,”

“Suffering is permanent, obscure and dark, And shares the nature of infinity.”

“When I was little, my dad used to call me 'Bandarella,' because I was a mess - a Bandar is a monkey in Hindi. I was not a girly-girl and would always break something and would be running around and didn't really fit in.”

“I was born to a dad who was born in the South Bronx while the Bronx was burning, while landlords were committing arson to their own buildings.”

“Both of my folks were into art. My dad was an art collector, my mom had a little kiln in our basement, and we would make pottery. I think from about age five on, they sent me to art classes, and I was a huge colorer.”
