“There is no way to understand the public reaction to the sight of a Freak smashing a coconut with a hammer on the hood of a white Cadillac in a Safeway parking lot unless you actually do it, and I tell you it's tense.”

“As long as I'm learning something, I figure I'm OK - it's a decent day.”

“There's also a down side.”

“I never write Metropolis for seven cents because I can get the same price for city. I never write policeman because I can get the same money for cop.”

“Like a pianist runs her fingers over the keys, I'll search my mind for what to say. Now, the poem may want you to write it. And then sometimes you see a situation and think, 'I'd like to write about that.' Those are two different ways of being approached by a poem, or approaching a poem.”

“And again, as always, after so many years we were still in the same place we always were.”

“Man is immortal; therefore he must die endlessly. For life is a creative idea; it can only find itself in changing forms”

“Love is the greatest refreshment in life.”
