"Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel."
"So I find words I never thought to speakIn streets I never thought I should revisitWhen I left my body on a distant shore."
"Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood."
"Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers."
