I've found, in my own writing, that a little hatred, keenly directed, is a useful thing.

I am an expression of the divine, just like a peach is, just like a fish is. I have a right to be this way...I can't apologize for that, nor can I change it, nor do I want to... We will never have to be other than who we are in order to be successful...We realize that we are as ourselves unlimited and our experiences valid. It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose.

It's so important to unclutter the mind. For me, creativity is greatly impeded just by the chatter and visual clutter of life. It's really important to have a space that is really clear for whatever is emerging to come.

It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one's children will become than for the children one's 'mature' critics often are.

Hard times require furious dancing. Each of us is proof.

Surely the earth can be saved by all the people who insist on love.

I write not only what I want to read...I write all the things I should have been able to read.
