unless the sun inside you is burning your gut, don't do it

It's better to do a dull thing with style than a dangerous thing without it.

they thought I had guts they were wrong I was only frightened of more important things

and getting dressed we talk about what else there might be to do, but being together solves most of it, in fact, solves all of it

I seldom know what I'm going to write when I sit down. There isn't much agony and sweat of the human spirit involved in doing it. The writing's easy, it's the living that is sometimes difficult.

Love came hard and very seldom. When it did it was usually for the wrong reasons.

Maybe when I get in the grave, things will be beautiful.
