Lisa Spinelli : You know, Jimmy, this world is going to erase you. There's not a place in this world for you. For people like you, couple of years, you were gonna be just a shadow, just like me.

Lisa Spinelli : Talent is so fragile and so rare. And our culture does everything to crush it. I mean even at four or five, they're coming into school attached to their phones, talking only about TV shows and video games. It's a materialistic culture, and it doesn't support art, or language, or observation. Even my own children, who are great, they don't read. You know, you think maybe it's just a phase. But I worry that it's something larger. A lack of curiosity. A lack of reflection. No one has space for poetry.

Lisa Spinelli : Sadness never ends. Van Gough said that before he died.

Lisa Spinelli : Mesmerize Me, Butterfly. Forcing wings open-shut Thrust with purpose not known to me Not expert, in your grasses. In poison Mushrooms camouflage deliverance Today the garden teems with wood sprites Flashing blue Now white At the edge of seeing.
