“Girls have a way of knowing or feeling what you feel, but they usually like to hear it also.”

Maybe the hardest thing in writing is simply to tell the truth about things as we see them.

Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.

Books are the best friends you can have; they inform you, and entertain you, and they don’t talk back.

Poetry is a feeling, a feeling of healing.

Feelings you could never explain. That’s what poetry is.

Release the person’s place thought-feeling.
