Life has no beginning, middle or end.

Some of the poetic writers who insert passages of realism in their texts have no underlying philosophy to uphold them, and revert to realism.

The first money I ever had was when I received an award from the American Association of University Women.

I never thought of myself as either a woman or a man. I thought of myself as a person who was born to a writer, who was doomed to be a writer.

I'm quite sure that most writers would sustain real poetry if they could, but it takes devotion and talent.

When the dream came into being, I always pursued it.

All the books I have written have been one book, from the beginning.
