Words Are More Powerful Than Perhaps Anyone

Whatever Peace I Know Rests In The Natural World, In Feeling Myself A Part Of It, Even In A Small Way.

We Have To Dare To Be Ourselves, However Frightening Or Strange That Self May Prove To Be.

How Unnatural The Imposed View, Imposed By A Puritanical Ethos, That Passionate Love Belongs Only To The Young, That People Are Dead From The Neck Down By The Time They Are Forty, And That Any Deep Feeling, Any Passion After That Age, Is Either Ludicrous Or Revolting!

So Let The World Go, But Hold Fast To Joy.

Anyone Who Is Going To Be A Writer Knows Enough At Fifteen To Write Several Novels.
