Humanity i love you because you are perpetually putting the secret of life in your pants and forgetting it's there and sitting down on it and because you are forever making poems in the lap of death Humanity i hate you

Do not hate or fear the artist in yourselves... Honor and love him...do not try to possess him. Trust him as nobly as you trust tomorrow. Only the artist in yourself is more truthful than the night.

When skies are hanged and oceans drowned, the single secret will still be man

To destroy is always the first step in any creation.

Writingis an art; and artistsare human beings. As a human being stands, so a human being is

i remember we all cried like the Missouri when my Uncle Sol's coffin lurched because somebody pressed a button (and down went my uncle Sol and started a worm farm)

To like an individual because he's black is just as insulting as to dislike him because he isn't white.
