"What I like to do is treat words as a craftsman does his wood or stone or what-have-you, to hew, carve, mold, coil, polish, and plane them into patterns, sequences, sculptures, fugues of sound expressing some lyrical impulse, some spiritual doubt or conviction, some dimly realized truth I must try to reach and realize."

"I hold a beast, an angel and a madman within me."
"Life always offers you a second chance. is called tomorrow."
"Light breaks where no sun shines; Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart; Push in their tides."
