A piece of sculpture can have a hole through it and not be weakened if the hole is of a studied size, shape, and direction.
Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.
The expense is damnable, the position is ridiculous, and the pleasure fleeting.
Poetry is a kind of gasp, and there it is, a spark on the page. Fiction, on the other hand, is like swamp fire.
Never lift. Never stop believing
I'm as happy as I can be-but I have been happier.
