Art is its own excuse, and it's either Art or it's something else. It's either a poem or a piece of cheese.

Bad poetry is caused by people who sit down and think, Now I am going to write a Poem.

The writer has no responsibility other than to jack off in bed alone and write a good page.

Beware of those who seek constant crowds; they are nothing alone.

I am not a man who looks for solutions in God or politics. If somebody else wants to do the dirty work and create a better world for us and he can do it, I will accept it.

Those faces you see every day on the streets were not created entirely without hope: be kind to them: like you they have not escaped.

and when love came to us twice and lied to us twice we decided to never love again that was fair fair to us and fair to love itself. we ask for no mercy or no miracles; we are strong enough to live and to die and to kill flies, attend the boxing matches, go to the racetrack, live on luck and skill, get alone, get alone often, and if you can't sleep alone be careful of the words you speak in your sleep; and ask for no mercy no miracles; and don't forget: time is meant to be wasted, love fails and death is useless.
