The Stories

I’m frightened of people who believe in just one story. The advantage of studying literature is that you learn many stories, philosophy, history, etc..

You learn that we have commonalities of strangeness and secrets with our fellow humans. Because of many stories, we are that much more open to otherness.

One of the attributes that makes us human is that we try to make sense of things that don't make sense. We often impute order where there may be none...

These traits occasionally can lead us to form conclusions that don't correspond to reality ..

Poetry & Entropy

If you ask me what my poetry is, I must answer : I don’t know but if you ask my poetry, it will tell you who I am -- Pablo Neruda

Passion

The voice of Passion is better than voice of reason. The passionless can not change history- Czeslaw Milosz

Reflection

To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle that any human being can fight--and never stop fighting. -E.E. Cummings

Thoughts

I should not talk so much about myself if there was anybody else whom I knew as well. Unfortunately, I am confined to this theme by the narrowness of my experience. - Henry David Thoreau

Conscience

The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it; but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it. -Madame De Stael-

Art

I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music. -Joan Miro.
