I don’t recall having any self-awareness about the intricacy of my stories

I don’t recall any interest in science in particular. It came later in college.

I recall when we opened in New York how the designer locks were impossible to slide shut, often leading to a difficult encounter no matter which side of the door you were on.

There is no greater sorrow then to recall our times of joy in wretchedness.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.

I shall now recall to mind that the motion of the heavenly bodies is circular, since the motion appropriate to a sphere is rotation in a circle.

Listen to the one who has not been wounded, the one who says, ‘It is not good that man should be alone.’ Recall your longing to the loneliness where it was born, so that when she appears, she will stand before you, not against you. Refine your longing here, in the small silver music of her preparations, under the low-built shelter of repentance.
