Poetry contains almost all you need to know about life.
Poetry has never let me down. Without poetry, I would have found life less comprehensible, less bearable and infinitely less enjoyable.
Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.
We do have choice, but not without some agony.
The passion that transforms life, and art, did not seem to be mine.
Very odd, old age. Always knew it would happen, if I was lucky. I just didn't expect it so soon.
