A flower is a plant's way of making love.

Sugar, it's no parade but you'll get down the street one way or another, so you'd just as well throw your shoulders back and pick up the pace.

There is a strange moment in time, after something horrible happens, when you know it's true, but you haven't told anyone yet.

I did it to win love, and to prove myself capable. Not to move mountains. In my opinions, mountains don't move. They only look changed when you look down on them from great height.

... Urban friends ask me how I can stand living here, 'so far from everything?' When I hear this question over the phone, I'm usually looking out the window at a forest, a running creek, and a vegetable garden, thinking: Define everything.

The past is all we know of the future.

I write every moment that is humanly possible. I write every day and every night. The only discipline I lack is the discipline is to quit.
