Professional Southerners Sicken Me.

I Distrust Thought. The Interior Life Is Highly Overrated. I Don't Like The Wispy And The Vague... Or Inductive Logic In Any Kind Of Writing. I'm Impatient With Writers Who Make Too Much Sense. The Better Things That I've Done Have Come To Me By Instinct.

Some Writers Are Curiously Unmusical. I Don't Get It. I Don't Get Them. For Me, Music Is Essential. I Always Have Music On When I'm Doing Well. Writing And Music Are Two Different Mediums, But Musical Phrases Can Give You Sentences That You Didn't Think You Ever Had.

I Don't Really Care About Plot; I Want To Have A Page-turner In A Different Kind Of Way.

You Need To See A Bit Of Hell Now And Then. That, And Great Joy.

Whoever You Are, Be That Person With All Your Might. Time Goes By Faster Than We Thought. It Is A Thief So Quiet. You Must Let Yourself Be Loved And You Must Love, Parts Of You That Never Loved Must Open And Love. You Must Announce Yourself In All Particulars So You Can Have Yourself.
