Laurie Anderson said this quote

Literature is the safe and traditional vehicle through which we learn about the world and pass on values from on generation to the next. Books save lives.

~ Laurie Anderson

You can dance. You can make me laugh.You've got x-ray eyes. You know how to sing. You're a diplomat. You've got it all. Everybody loves you. You can charm the birds out of the sky, But I, I've got one thing. You always know just what to say And when to go, But I've got one thing. You can see in the dark, But I've got one thing: I loved you better. Last night I woke up,Saw this angel. He flew in my window. And he said, Girl, pretty proud of yourself, huh? And I looked around and said, Who me? And he said, The higher you fly, the faster you fall.He said, Send it up. Watch it rise. See it fall, Gravity's rainbow. Send it up. Watch it rise. See it fall, Gravity's Angel.
