No day in all my life had ever been as cruel as this one..

I love a good Dorothy L. Sayers..

Who do you serve? Do you serve somebody? I serve the poem, no one..

I never have anything to talk about..

What God originates, God orchestrates..

I like my work to stand on its own as much as possible..

There is beauty in everything, Just not everybody sees it.

Swallows and Amazons for-ever!.

Some changes are so slow, you don't notice them, others are so fast, they don't notice you..

I love the holiday season, almost as much as I love touching myself in front of orphans..

Orphans are the only ones who get to choose their fathers, and they love them twice as much..

There is something very romantic about the orphan figure in American literature..

Poetry is an orphan of silence..

Just love the one in front of you. Take in the orphan, take in the widow. Just love the one in front of you..

I believe that God is the Great Companion, that we are not left orphans, that we may have comradeship with him..

Not everyone can be an orphan..

We probably looked like starving orphan children. Hey! We were starving orphan children..
