![Andrew Motion quote: "These places, and the ancient things you know, You won't know..."](/pic/227399/600x316/quotation-andrew-motion-these-places-and-the-ancient-things-you-know.jpg)
We writers are the worst kind of cruel,
Because we worship our own stories and poems,
And what human can compete with metaphors?
Writers stand still and yet vacate our homes
Inside our fantasies. We are word-whores,
With libidos and egos of balsa wood.
We’d have sex with our books, if only we could.
Sherman Alexie
