Silence of Finality• Show poetry

Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. 

My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. 

There's many a bestseller that could have been prevented by a good teacher. 

~Flannery O'Connor

Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. 

~Anton Chekhov

All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

A word is not the same with one writer as with another. 

One tears it from his guts.  The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket. 

~Charles Peguy

Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself.  ~Franz Kafka

The difference between the right word and the almost right word

is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. 

~Mark Twain

I write with no rules and for no goal. 

I have learned to cast aside all preconceived ideas

about capitalization, punctuation and form,

to simply write for writings sake.

My witing changes as I do.

LASCIVA EST NOBIS PAGINAS VITA PROBA.
