“The beautiful feeling after writing a poem is on the whole better even than after sex, and that's saying a lot.”
“Someday I would have lovers and write a poem after”
“It’s better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.”
“You will have a story in there. . . or a character, a place, a poem, a moment in time. When you find it, you will write it. Word after word after word after word.”
“That's the beauty about love. It's not about give-and-take - it's about feeling safe in one's needs - wanting to be looked after as much as wanting to look after.”
“After sex, after coffee, after everything there is to be said --The hovering and beautiful alphabet as we form our first words after making love.And somehow I'm still alive.”
