Poetry is an echo asking a shadow to dance. - Carl Sandburg

"Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep."

"Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me."

"Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits."

"Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep."

"Tell no man anything, for no man listensYet hold thy lips ready to speak."
