Wherever you are - be all there.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Know or listen to those who know.
It's always too early to quit.
I can, therefore I am.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Poetry criticism at its worst today is mean in spirit and spiteful in intent, as if determined to inflict the wound that will spur the artist to new heights if it does not cripple him or her.
