More quotes from Don Paterson (Paterson)

To renounce not the self but your self; somehow a very different proposition.

He spent his life paralyzed by imaginary protocols.

Whale to the ocean, bird to the sky, man to his dream.

Our dreams so often surpass the world's ability to express them.

All those chairs and bathtubs and cars and shoes which, emptied of us, are immediately returned to absurdity. How many lonely things we make for the world.

Don Paterson, Best Thought, Worst Thought
