Poetry is easier to learn than prose. Once you have learned it you can use it as a light and a laser. It shows up your true situation and it helps you cut through it.

After every ''victory'' you have more enemies.

Now that I have lost you I cannot allow you to develop, you must be a photograph not a poem.

Life gives you enough hard knocks so it's unlikely you'll stay that sure of yourself.

Even death after a long illness is without warning. The moment you had prepared for so carefully took you by storm. The troops broke through the window and snatched the body and the body is gone. ... Death reduces us to the baffled logic of a small child. If yesterday why not today?

Words are the part of silence that can be spoken.

To create was a fundament, to appreciate, a supplement.
