...it's always somebody's fault - I blame you for my helpless love - do you think I chose this? Your beauty compelled me...

...some nights I'd sneak out and listen to the radio in my Dad's old Chevy - children need solitude - they don't teach that in school...

...no good writing flows from a polluted well - you can write about monsters, but you can't be one...

...I don't just wish you rain, Beloved - I wish you the beauty of storms...

...true love is an irrevocable act - you can only give your heart away once - after that, you give as much as you have left ...

...wherever there is society, there is authority and the temptation to disobedience because our individual wills refuse to submit...

...you think so logically...like a hawk soaring - I feel so chaotically...like a kite without a tail plummeting to earth...

...you fantasize about me reading my poems to you - it doesn't work that way - I write down everything later - living is not an after-thought...

...if you always move in certainty, your writing will be flat - creativity is a rugged terrain...

...is worship too strong a word? yes, I worship you - to worship is to give worth to something – isn’t that what love is all about?...

My idea of a true feminist is a woman who feels free enough to do whatever she wants.

the emotions at death, as at birth, are instinctive and primitive.

Sometimes I say things that I can't believe came out of my mouth. Or I won't mean something and it will come out completely nonsensical.

Decisions decide destiny, there is no action without decision
