It's easy to cry when you realize that everyone you love will reject you or die.

What they don't teach you in art school is how your whole life is about discovering who you already were.

Alternating the thoughtful task of writing with the mindless work of laundry or dish washing will give you the breaks you need for new ideas and insights to occur. If you don't know what comes next in the story... clean your toilet. Change the bed sheets. For Christ sakes, dust the computer. A better idea will come.

There's no way you can get the past right. You can pretend. You can delude yourself, but you can't re-create what's over.

All object printed: Love me. Look me. Million speaking objects,begging. Crown American consumer with power of king, to rescue choose and give home or abandon here for expire.

You'll need to suffer to make any real art.
