“ A village explainer. Excellent if you were a village, but if you were not, not.(on Ezra Pound) ”
You look ridiculous if you danceYou look ridiculous if you don't danceSo you might as welldance.
~ Gertrude Stein
In the morning there is meaning, in the evening there is feeling.
You will write if you will write without thinking of the result in terms of a result, but think of the writing in terms of discovery, which is to say that creation must take place between the pen and the paper, not before in a thought or afterwards in a recasting... It will come if it is there and if you will let it come.
It takes a lot of time to be a genius. You have to sit around so much, doing nothing, really doing nothing.
