Never fear being alone, because you never are.

Unless you call attention to your presence who will know you're there? Even a country has to weave and wave a flag as proof of its existence.

If you love somebody, tell them.

There is no other way to find ourselves but in each others faces.

A poet can't afford to be aloof. The tools of his trade are the people he bumps up against.

The world needs writers. We will always be necessary. There are few professions that can claim that distinction.

No map to help us find the tranquil flat lands, clearings calm, fields without mean fences. Rolling down the other side of life our compass is the sureness of ourselves. Time may make us rugged, ragged round the edges, but know and understand that love is still the safest place to land.
