You're looking for something, I don't know what I'm looking for, but I'm looking. Writing is a lot about that. When you write a poem. When you write a novel.

To read is to cover one's face. And to write is to show it.

You can say that literature is about topics like love, death, and all that, but I think there is only one topic that applies to all literature and that is belonging.

I don't care how impossible it seems.

Your mind, while blessed with permanent memory, is cursed with lousy recall. Written goals provide clarity. By documenting your dreams, you must think about the process of achieving them.

Writing poetry is such an intense experience that it helps to start the process in a casual or wayward frame of mind.

It is not for us to calculate our victory or fear our defeat, but to do our duty and leave the rest in God's hands.
