More From Ann Druyan

Longing surged up within me. i wanted it. oh god, i wanted it. i didn't want to hear jerome chastise me for my "all lowlifes, all the time" seduction policy. i wanted to come home and tell someone about my day. i wanted to go out dancing on the weekends. i wanted to take vacations together. i wanted someone to hold me when i was upset, when the ups and downs of the world pushed me too far. i wanted someone to love.
Home Vacation Weekend
I wanted a metamorphosis, a change to fish, to leviathan, to destroyer. i wanted the earth to open up, to swallow everything in one engulfing yawn. i wanted to see the city buried fathoms deep in the bosom of the sea. i wanted to sit in a cave and read by candlelight. i wanted that eye extinguished so that i might have a chance to know my own body, my own desires. i wanted to be alone for a thousand years in order to reflect on what i had seen and heard - and in order to forget.
Eye Cities Order
He’d spent his life being a perfect gentleman. he’d never been a flirt. he’d never been a rogue. he hated being the center of attention, but by god, he wanted to be the center of her attention. he wanted to do the wrong thing, the bad thing. he wanted to pull her into his arms and carry her to her bed. he wanted to peel every last inch of her clothing from her body, and then he wanted to worship her. he wanted to show her all the things he wasn’t sure he knew how to say.
Flirting Perfect Gentleman
Interviews, when they are just simply an exercise in hearing what you want to hear, are of no interest. and many, many, if not most interviews have that character. the interviewer who comes in with a list of bullet points they're going to address one after the other. interviews, properly considered, should be investigative. you should not know what you're going to hear. you should be surprised.
Character Exercise Interest
I definitely wanted to be an actor. i didn't want to be on tv, i didn't want to be famous, i didn't want to be anyone in particular; i just wanted to do it. i see young people now who look at magazines, or american idol and their goal is to have that lifestyle - to have good handbags, or go out with cute guys from shows, or whatever. but i definitely wanted to be an actor.

Oftentimes, if you're talking to a seasoned interviewer who asks you a question, they may do a follow-up if they didn't quite get it. it's rare that they'll do a third or fourth or fifth or sixth follow-up, because there's an implicit, agreed-upon decorum that they move on. kids don't necessarily move on if they don't get it.

Girls are simply wonderful. just to stand on a corner and watch them going past is delightful. they don't walk. at least not what we do when we walk. i don't know how to describe it, but it's much more complex and utterly delightful. they don't move just their feet; everything moves and in different directions . . . and all of it graceful.
Girl Moving Past
The state does not function as we desired. a man is at the wheel and seems to lead it, but the car does not drive in the desired direction. it moves as another force wishes.

Nicias, do you think you can erase with good deeds the wrongs you committed against your mother? what good deed will ever reach her? her soul is a scorching noon time, without a single breath of a breeze, nothing moves, nothing changes, nothing lives there; a great emaciated sun, an immobile sun eternally consumes her.

Politics is about moving forward, looking forward.
