“I'd like to think...that people in pubs would talk about my poems”
“Sometimes I'd hate to talk to anyone, and at other times I'd not only talk to people, but would even take it into my head to be friends with them.”
“Like most people, my views about ghosts and haunted places were traditional while growing up. I believed ghosts were human spirits. Not that I talked to many people about the subject or my experiences. I assumed people would think I was weird.”
“Ideally, alcohol should be consumed in private. I dislike going to the pub, becoming jolly and ending up talking to people I would rather see injected with bleach.”
“Potter! There are hundreds of people thundering through my pub!”
“I got to thinking that poems were like people. Some people you got right off the bat. Some people you just didn't get--and never would get.”
