Real life is never quite as interesting as the story told afterward.

Anyone who doesn't love animals has a serious hole in the heart.

Creativity is at the root of love and meaning in this life.

Prose pretends to be straightforward in its application to the truth, but truth itself is a dissembler. Poetry, much more honest, knows the deception can't be overcome.

Expect nothing and accept everything and you will never be disappointed.
