A Quote by Dov Davidoff
You forget how crazy people are in New York, all the people on the sidewalk. When you leave here, everyone's in their car. But I get back here - I just went to throw something in the garbage, and there was a guy in the garbage. And he wasn't looking in it; he is in it, looking out over 9th Ave like a fisherman.

The organic gardener does not think of throwing away the garbage. She knows that she needs the garbage.

I am capable of transforming the garbage back into love.

In restaurants where they serve frog's legs, what do they do with the rest of the frog? Do they just throw it away? You never see "frog torsos" on the menu.

In all my life I'd never been approached this way, the car pulling up, the Where you going? It was something I wish had happened hundreds of times.
