Sometimes the dreams of first-grade naivety are the only dreams ever realized.
In all probability, I will never read every book ever written. To think of the amount of novels, manuals and reference materials in the Emerson College library is staggering, not to mention the Boston Public Library, the Library of Congress, the lost world of Alexandria. Impossible, maybe, but as Freud said, dreams are only wish fulfillments, and all I wish is to learn, from books and the people who write them and, most importantly, from the people who read them. I wish to learn from teaching.

- Sometimes the dreams of first-grade naivety are the only dreams ever realized.
- But more importantly, Murray Schwartz writes with less-confident letters in a small notebook on his desk
- Of course, to arrive at such a world, I need to start walking.
- It is a stretch, yes, but I believe at the core of art is a distortion of life necessary for creativity, the exploitation of a single example into a rampant archetype
