“Waves keep coming, that's the one thing you can count on in life”
“Waves may crash on the solitary shores, yet those feelings remain unmoved.
The scent of rain fills the air, and though memories tear the heart in two, my eyes hold the light of what once was.
Many moons ago, we met, but something remains, untouched by time.
Written in the sands is our story, unerased.
Burning in the deep is the lamp of memories.
Here I am, longing to find those days again, unbent by the sadness of centuries.
Time did not leave it shaken, for this is love, the light of eternity.”
“Waves of hands, hesitations at street corners, someone dropping a cigarette into the gutter-all are stories. But which is the true story? That I do not know. Hence I keep my phrases hung like clothes in a cupboard, waiting for some one to wear them. Thus waiting, thus speculating, making this note and then an· other I do not cling to life. I shall be brushed like a bee from a sunflower. My philosophy, always accumulating, welling up moment by moment, runs like quicksilver a dozen ways at once.”

So I switched to listening to purely instrumental pieces.”

“Way beyond the calls for equal pay, self-sovereignty, choice, political, legal and educational equality, as woman we each need to search our souls, grieve the enormity of what has befallen us, then find new ways to step outside the shame, to channel the outrage into outlets for progress. We need to cease identification with our oppressors so that we may lift up other women and learn the powerful word that means "no.”

Source: Public Papers of Governor Mario M. Cuomo, 1984
“Way down deep the American people are afraid of an entangling relationship between formal religions - or whole bodies of religious belief - and government. Apart from constitutional law and religious doctrine, there is a sense that tells us it's wrong to presume to speak for God or to claim God's sanction of our particular legislation and his rejection of all other positions. Most of us are offended when we see religion being trivialized by its appearance in political throw-away pamphlets.”
“Way down deep, we're all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them.”
“Way Down South in Dixie
(Break the heart of me)
They hung my black young lover
To a cross roads tree.
Way Down South in Dixie
(Bruised body high in air)
I asked the white Lord Jesus
What was the use of prayer.
Way Down South in Dixie
(Break the heart of me)
Love is a naked shadow
On a gnarled and naked tree.”
“Way far back in the beginning of the world was the whirlwind warning that we could all be blown away like chips and cry- Men with tired eyes realize it now, and wait to deform and decay- with maybe they have the power of love yet in their hearts just the same, I just don't know what that word means anymore- All I want is an ice cream cone”

“Way of life in Australia focuses more on the outdoors.”
“Way of the Heart
For the heart, there is always a way
Maybe not a way that you had expected or hoped for
But there is always a way.
What we see with the eyes of our mind
Finds a whole new kaleidoscope of colour through the vision of our heart.
For the heart,
There is always a way.
If you cannot go through an obstacle,
Span outward, orbit through the sight of your heart
And you will find your way around it.”

“Way of The Slipper (Bug-Repellent Sonnet)
This prehistoric world has an instinctual
affinity to black and white, binary concepts.
Justice is too grand an exercise to be contained
by the binary nonsense of violence and nonviolence.
Bullets are an act of violence, silence
is an act of bookish nonviolence – but there
is a third option – the way of the slipper.
Slippers are more effective in fighting bugs,
than bullets - slippers strip the bugs of
power, while bullets make them martyr.
With all your slippers combined,
the mightiest of tyrant is bound to fall,
be it a state head, court judge or copper,
or oligarchs rendering democracy into jungle.
When people blow their top, billionaires
become bum, and presidents turn tramp.
Fetch the household bug-repellent from
under your feet, and treat the corrupt
and bigoted like your offspring gone bad.”

“Way over on the railroad,
Tomorrow all the tipping trucks will unload together,
Every scrapbook stuck with glue,
And I'll stand beside you,
Beside you, child.”
