"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting,
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine."
-- from "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver

It's worth it to actually read the full transcript at the Washington Post site. He has a lot of interesting things to say.
Jon Stewart pointed out the exact same thing on the Daily Show last night. (It made up for the embarrassing interview he had with Russell Crowe.)
