I always thought that people who live in the desert are a little crazy. It could be that the desert attracts that kind of person, or that after living there, you become that. It doesn't make much difference. But now I've done my 40 years in the desert.

A desert is a place without expectation.

I have this personal affinity for the desert. I am fascinated by the desert. I love it.

It is as pleasant as it is unusual to see thoroughly good people getting their deserts.

People live, work, walk, play, shop, study, and eat with other people. There are few desert dwellers who live alone without depending in some way on people.

What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.

I used to think that only people who were crazy were attracted to the desert, but once you've lived there, you become that way anyway.

The desert loves me. I love the desert. It's nice to be in the heat in Africa. I love it.

This is the sense of the desert hills, that there is room enough and time enough.

I've accompanied several dying people on their travels, and the desert seems to be a favored destination. It is very hot and dry and lyrical in its own way.
