“Sun so generous it shall be you,
Vapors lighting and shading my face it shall be you,
You sweaty brooks and dew it shall be you,
Winds whose soft-tickling genitals rub against me it shall be you,
Broad muscular fields, branches of liveoak, loving lounger in my winding paths, it shall be you,
Hands I have taken, face I have kissed, mortal I have ever touched, it shall be you."

“Sunce naizgled istječe - njegovo svjetlo širi se u svim pravcima, no bujica nikad ne presuši. Takvo širenje jest linearno; zato se njegovi traci zovu zrakama - zrače u produljenim crtama. Vidiš što je zraka ako pratiš kako sunčevo svjetlo u mračnu sobu prodire kroz uzak otvor. Ono se širi u ravnoj crti i udara, rekli bismo, u svako čvrsto tijelo, koje mu zatvara prolaz na drugu stranu - ondje se smješta te, niti klizi niti pada. Nešto slično vrijedilo bi i za tijek i postizanje univerzalnog uma - koji nije konačna bujica, nego neprekidno zračenje. I nema ničeg silovitog ni nasilnog u njegovu utjecaju na zapreke koje susreće - neće kliznuti, nego se smjestiti ondje i osvjetljivati sve što ga prima. Sve što ne odražava, uskraćuje sebi to svjetlo.”
“Sundance [festival] is all your Hollywood buds and buddies and rolling out and high-fiving and "Hell, yeah. Here comes the movie," and in Venice, it's very elegant, and respectful...It's decadence.

“Sunday brunch is an easy, pleasant way to entertain a largish group, especially in the country. Americans who overslept invented the word brunch, but the ingredients and the casual atmosphere bear a strong resemblance to breakfast in an English country house or to a French midnight supper. The choice of menu can be as wide as the imagination. Practically anything goes — from hearty breakfast dishes such as filled omelettes, kidneys, chicken livers and bacon, sausages, and eggs Benedict. Something pretty in aspic, or a salmon mousse in a fish-shaped mold, makes a lovely centerpiece. Best of all, most of the meal can be prepared way ahead of time and it can be managed without outside help — if, that is, the hostess puts in a lot of work the day before and early that morning.
People can wander in when they feel like it, so there’s no need to tint this one. Drinks are no problem. A big punch bowl with chunks of fresh fruit makes a nice starter, and mixings for bloody Marys, screwdrivers, or bullshots can be left on a table for guests to serve themselves. Of course there should be a big pot of very good coffee.”
