“Readers of my online journal - I refuse to use the word blog because it sounds like something that lives on a riverbed and communicates through farts”

“Journalism allows its readers to witness history; fiction gives its readers an opportunity to live it.”

“Q: Why do you use swear words on your blog, but never the F word?A: Because I'm saving the F word for the day when I write a blog post about the for-profit health insurance industry and the way its CEOs become wealthy by not only preying on, but exacerbating, other people's personal tragedies.*ahem*Happy Monday, everyone :o)”

“There is a movement happening, a quiet one.A low-profile, low-resolution revolution.Comprised of writers and dreamers, of guerrilla artists and thought-ninjas.Those with something to say.They communicate through text inscribed on true public spaces, rather than blogs and forums.Choosing fewer words, even without being bound by 140 character limits.Using ink instead of pixels.Sending messages in living, breathing space.Pens scream louder into the void.Even if permanent ink is not aptly named.”

“I like the sounds of words. Words are very enjoyable. I like words because they are... seductive. And I like words because they can contain... fantasies.”

“Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else ... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.”
