Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.
From Carl Sandburg
I learned you can't trust the judgment of good friends.
Nothing happens unless first we dream.
All politicians should have 3 hats - one to throw into the ring, one to talk through, and one to pull rabbits out of if elected.
The sea speaks a language polite people never repeat. It is a colossal scavenger slang and has no respect.
Love your neighbor as yourself; but don't take down the fence.
A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake.
Here is the difference between Dante, Milton, and me. They wrote about hell and never saw the place. I wrote about Chicago after looking the town over for years and years.
I am an idealist. I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way.
I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, no just for tomorrow, but in the here and now. Keep moving and forget the post mortems; and remember, no one can get the jump on the future.
