• Dark times have come, but in spite of this we have not yet reached a twilight of the gods and even today we have no reason for doubt-filled pessimism, for the Wihinei of the Aryo-Germanics is too deep - even if unconscious and latent - rooted in every Aryo-Germanic soul and it awaits onl the call to awaken which will and must catch fire in order to instill the flame of inspiration in the Aryo-Germanic sensibility.

• Creo que si tienes una perspectiva cómica, casi todo lo que ocurre tiendes a pasarlo por un filtro cómico. Es una forma de sobrellevarlo a corto plazo, pero no tiene efecto a largo plazo y requiere una renovación constante e interminable. De ahí que la gente hable de cómicos que están "siempre activos". Es como drogar constantemente tu sensibilidad para que te duela menos.

  Woody Allen

• Paul Otremba’s remarkable first book, The Currency, is an intriguing foray into lyric epistemology that tries to come to ter ms with the implacable, paradox-ridden nature of knowledge and experience. These are deeply felt, deeply meditated poems guided by a sensibility highly attenuated to the physical world. In their openness to friendship and love and in their fearless directness, they remind me of the work of Larry Levis and Jon Anderson. Like Levis and Anderson, Otremba promises to be an influential and important voice for his generation.

• When the soul is solidly rooted in... peacefulness, when it is freed of the bonds of every carnal urge, when the unshaking thrust of the heart is toward the one supreme Good, then the words of the apostle will be fulfilled. 'Pray without ceasing,' he said (I Thes. 5:17). 'In every place lift up pure hands, with no anger and no rivalry' (I Tim 2:8). Sensibility is, so to speak, absorbed by this purity. It is reshaped in the likeness of the spiritual and the angelic so that all its dealings, all its activity will be prayer, utterly pure, utterly without tarnish.

As an independent filmmaker this sensibility affected me greatly.

• Todas esas declaraciones sobre lo que debería ser la escritura, que yo mismo tenía -aunque, gracias a Dios, nunca las había llevado al papel-, creo que no tienen sentido. Uno escribe lo que escribe, y luego o se sostiene o no se sostiene. No hay reglas ni sensibilidades particulares. Ya no creo en eso en absoluto.
