Bats drink on the wing, like swallows, by sipping the surface, as they play over pools and streams.

I like Toronto a lot, it's a good city. The only thing that really annoys me about Toronto is that you're turning Maple Leaf Gardens into a grocery store, which is absolutely nothing short of disgusting.

The most lasting and pure gladness comes to me from my gardens.

I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.

My work is very bodily. It's not a shell, but a body.

I cannot emphasize just how dangerous it is cycling in the city. Especially now. Even though it is against the law to do this, you'll see people texting while they drive.

I have wasted my hours.
