A Cafe is less about really drinking your coffee or your tea, it is about drinking your projects, drinking your worries. You are not real, and the coffee is not real either.

A Cafe is a failed restaurant.

Community is gathering around a fire and listening to someone tell a story.

Community is, as the very heart of civilization, the mutually cooperative and voluntary venture of man to assume a semblance of responsibility for his brother.

Community is grounded in this idea — It is your concern when the wall next door is on fire.

Community is grounded in dialogue — it comes as a result of folks talking 'to' one another instead of 'about'.

Conversation is best with lulls — Repose is as necessary in conversation as in a picture.

The Conversation is that which makes for friends rather than vice versa.

Conversation is our account of ourselves. All we have, all we can, all we know is brought into play, and as the reproduction, in finer form, of all our havings.

Conversation is feminine, circular and radiant of the underlying unity.

A Garden is simple to make — you need only a piece of land and eternity.

The Garden is the best place to seek god. You can dig for him there.

A Garden is a thing we cultivate, and it cultivates us.

The Garden is the poor man's apothecary.
