• I sat at the foot of a huge tree, a statue of the night, and tried to make an inventory of all I had seen, heard, smelled, and felt: dizziness, horror, stupor, astonishment, joy, enthusiasm, nausea, inescapable attraction. What had attracted me? It was difficult to say: Human kind cannot bear much reality.

• He couldn't tell that this was one of those occasions a man never forgets: a small cicatrice had been made on the memory, a wound that would ache whenever certain things combined - the taste of gin at mid-day, the smell of flowers under a balcony, the clang of corrugated iron, an ugly bird flopping from perch to perch.

• When I was 12 years old, I was just horrible. My parents were ashamed to watch my matches. I would play on a court at the local club and they would watch from the balcony. They would scream, 'Be quiet' to me and I would scream back, 'Go and have a drink. Leave me alone.' Then we would drive home in a very quiet car. No one speaking to each other.

• She craved a presence beside her, solid. Fingertips light at the nape of her neck and a voice meeting hers in the dark. Someone who would wait with an umbrella to walk her home in the rain, and smile like sunshine when he saw her coming. Who would dance with her on her balcony, keep his promises and know her secrets, and make a tiny world wherever he was, with just her and his arms and his whisper and her trust.

• Se suponía que los pajes debíamos estar fuera de cámara, invisibles. Pero en un momento vi a un niño que estaba a punto de tirarse por el balcón, así que corrí, lo agarré y lo volví a sentar. Recuerdo que el director de escena me llevó aparte y me dijo: "¿Puedes no volver a hacer eso? Sé que le estabas salvando la vida, pero te tenemos a tiro".

Voy a sacar mi detector lunar especial y me pondré a ello.

• I walked out and Jack Nicholson was sitting about six feet away, so I avoided that area and I looked up at the balcony in the back and sang the song.

• I love the sound of snow... You can hear it even if you are only standing on a balcony. [The sound] is only minimal, not even a real noise: a breath, a trifle of a sound. You have the same thing in music: if in the score there is a pianissimo marked that ends in nothing. Up thee you can feel this 'nothing'. With an orchestra it is very difficult to achieve it. The Berlin Philharmonic manage it sometimes.

  Claudio Abbado

• The window gave onto a view of dove-gray roofs and balconies, each one containing the same cracked flowerpot and sleeping feline. It was as if the entire city of Paris had agreed to abide by a single understated taste. Each neighbor was doing his or her own to keep up standards, which was difficult because the French ideal wasn't clearly delineated like the neatness and greenness of American lawns, but more of a picturesque disrepair. It took courage to let things fall apart so beautifully.

• Pienso en ti a menudo. Sobre todo por las tardes, cuando estoy en el balcón y está demasiado oscuro para escribir o para hacer otra cosa que esperar a las estrellas. Un momento que me encanta. Uno se siente medio incorpóreo, sentado como una sombra a la puerta de su ser mientras sube la marea oscura. Luego viene la luna, maravillosamente serena, y las pequeñas estrellas, muy alegres por alguna razón propia. Es tan fácil olvidarse, en una vida mundana, de atender a estos milagros.

• Everything in New Orleans is a good idea. Bijou temple-type cottages and lyric cathedrals side by side. Houses and mansions, structures of wild grace. Italianate, Gothic, Romanesque, Greek Revival standing in a long line in the rain. Roman Catholic art. Sweeping front porches, turrets, cast-iron balconies, colonnades- 30-foot columns, gloriously beautiful- double pitched roofs, all the architecture of the whole wide world and it doesn't move.

• Estuve en el set [Romeo + Julieta] quizá una hora durante dos días. Fue en una gran catedral de Ciudad de México. Recuerdo que estaba en el balcón, yo estaba delante y había un coro detrás de mí. Delante de mí había una barandilla de cemento, y yo pensaba: "¡Dios mío!". Porque yo era un niño entonces, y yo soy como, "Estamos un poco alto ... Espero no volcar", porque soy muy torpe.

• Las pobres palomas permanecían en sus casas hasta que el fuego las tocaba, y luego corrían a los botes o trepaban de un par de escaleras a la orilla del agua a otro. Y entre otras cosas, percibo que las pobres palomas se resistían a salir de sus casas, sino que revoloteaban alrededor de las ventanas y balcones hasta que a algunas se les quemaron las alas y cayeron.

• My joke is a picture of David Bowie on his balcony in the '70s in a suit in Paris, and unless that's you, I'm not interested. There are very few aesthetic types that I have, and people who look like that are not always necessarily good for me.
