Poetry is our heart, our spirit, our soul. Call it whatever; without it, everything else is nothing but hardware.

Self worship is different from self love.

The primary dues a writer or any artist pays is to remain sentient, and to forfeit the illusionary luxury of such anesthetics as avoidance, numbness, and denials.

Purity of heart is blooming the same colors in the middle of the wilderness when no one sees you.

Do it right, regret nothing.

When we love, we are courageous; and courage has nothing to do with being fearless, it's about being willing to experience fear, even dread, to do what we must, without guarantee of outcome.
