Shut up and write. Don't talk about writing, just physically do it.
Shut up and write anyway. Don't use anything as an excuse.
In the end, you have to just sit down, shut up, and write.
Poetry has never been a favorite American pastime.
Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open.
Never underestimate people. They do desire the cut of truth.
