Chicago is many things to many people, and to me, it is a place where you can write.
Hurts of childhood live on; in one form or other they are there to the end.
We all go through the same things - it's all just a different kind of the same thing.
To cease to love -- that is defeat.
Not having children makes less work-but it makes a quiet house.
Defeat furnishes good material to the poets and the artists, but none of us care to have the glory of the conquered apply to us.
