“Give yourself something to work toward -- constantly.”
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
“If you are not working towards something, your life will end with nothing.”
“In a world where you are constantly asked to be 'committed,' it is liberating to give yourself the license to be a dilettante. Commit to nothing. Try everything.”
“This is the kind of room poets are supposed to work in, the kind of room that threatens to break your spirit and forces you into constant battle with yourself.”
“A feeling of aversion or attachment toward something is your clue that there's work to be done.”
