Money is power, freedom, a cushion, the root of all evil, the sum of blessings.

Poetry is the report of a nuance between two moments, when people say, 'Listen!' and 'Did you see it?' 'Did you hear it? What was it?'

I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.

I've written some poetry I don't understand myself.

People lie because they don't remember clear what they saw. People lie because they can't help making a story better than it was the way it happened.

Money is power, freedom, a cushion, the root of all evil, the sum of blessings.

Poetry is a mystic, sensuous mathematics of fire, smoke-stacks, waffles, pansies, people, and purple sunsets.
