We stalk the truth as poets, sensualists, a duality, limited insanity. We labor in our muse, carving alphabets of experience into our hearts.

I've been to Asia, but I'd love to go to Thailand. I'd love to go to some rural areas in China.

Poetry is a lyrical insinuation. Often, its melodic subtlety kisses the subconscious mind.

In the end we're all searching for our home, that one place where we belong.

There's a condensed softness about the Albanian people, and I've witnessed examples of their hospitality.

One cannot get to animal rights by trampling on human rights.

The church is not a dormitory for sleepers, it is an institution for workers; it is not a rest camp, it is a front line trench.

If you have a success, you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.

With the Klitschkos, though, unless someone comes around, they can stay where they are forever! The heavyweight division is lackluster, and it will be until someone comes along who can test them.

Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.

I don't want to preach, and I don't want to tell people what to do.

You can't create a monster, then whine when it stomps on a few buildings.
