A poem is no place for an idea.
I opened my mouth, then shut it, then, very slowly, I held my hands up in front of me.
Life is consciousness.
There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice.
The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.
Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinions at all.
Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it's just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it.
Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.
