"I write to find out what I..." - Quote by Robert Frost

“College is a refuge from hasty judgment.”

“A breeze discovered my open book And began to flutter the leaves to look”

“Poets like Shakespeare know more about poetry than any $25 an hour man.”

“What I try to do with any of my stories, any of my novels, is make them feel very original.”

“I begin already to weigh my words and sentences more than I did, and am looking about for a sentiment, an illustration, or a metaphor in every corner of the room. Could my Ideas flow as fast as the rain in the Storecloset it would be charming.”

“Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.”

“Inside you there's an artist you don't know about.”

“You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.”

“The most important healing - realizing who you are. The healing on the outer level is fine, but it's not the essence of healing.”
