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

You can't truly have an open heart until it's been broken.

It's an awful feeling to write something that you feel is really important... and to feel that you're being published by people who really don't get it and/or don't really care.

The earth is for joy, and dancing is a big part of that. And you dance with nature. Nature is always dancing. If you're not harassing it and killing it and mutilating it, nature is dancing. That's what the leaves are doing when the wind blows through them. We live in a magical wonderful universe. And just spoil it while thinking we can at some point go to heaven or some other planet.

Animals were not made for us, or our use. They have their own use, which is just being who they are.

You know, one race will not be a survivor if the other one dies, and that's something that we should think about.

Poetry, I have discovered, is always unexpected and always as faithful and honest as dreams.
