Success is always dangerous. It can make an asshole out of anybody.

Any asshole can chase a skirt, art takes discipline.

there are so many days when living stops and pulls up and sits and waits like a train on the rails.

it doesn't matter if Prince Charles falls off his horse or that the hummingbird is so seldom seen or that we are too senseless to go insane. coffee. give us more of that NOTHING coffee.

Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?

If you are going to try, go all the way or don't even start. If you follow it you will be alive with the gods. It is the only good fight there is.

And if there is anybody out there who is crazy enough to want to become a writer, I'd say go ahead, spit in the eye of the sun, hit those keys, it's the best madness going, the centuries need help, the species cry for light and gamble and laughter. Give it to them. There are enough words for all of us.
