“This is every writer's nightmare--the sudden breakdown of meaning in the language that sustains and supports us...”

“We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose. ”

“We urge you to do all within your talent and means to build the kingdom of God on Earth. Always strive to sustain, support and do what is best for the kingdom of God.”

“I think the revolutionary role of a writer is to make language that makes coalition possible, language that makes us see things in a new way.”

“Language imparts identity, meaning, and perspective to our human condition. Writers are either polluters or part of the cleanup.”

“Instead of heading for a big mental breakdown, I decided to have a small breakdown every Tuesday evening.”
