There's a thing at the Museum of Natural History in New York, where I live: they have a stairwell where you follow the beginning and the course of this planet, and it's a very long stairwell, and you follow, and you follow, and then you reach the top, and we're, like, half a step on the stairwell - the timeline for us on this planet.

What goes up must come down.

The world is in motion, as it seems.

Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life.

You can't be aware of everything. You'd fall down the stairs if you were aware of every intricate thing involved in going down stairs.

Each time we enter imaginatively into the life of another, it's a small step upwards in the elevation of the human race.

Life is a horizontal fall.

There's high, and there's high, and to get really high - I mean so high that you can walk on the water, that high-that's where I'm going.

It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind me and I see the steps. That's where I was.
