My father always taught by telling stories about his experiences. His lessons were about morality and art and what insects and birds and human beings had in common.

It is quite cruel that a poet cannot wander through his regions of enchantment without having a critic, forever, like the old man of the sea, upon his back. Marianne Moore
It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work. Henry Moore
It's difficult to write a book where a character is on virtually every page of the book but you cannot refer to his or her gender. It gets rid of every his, her, she and he. William Least Heat-Moon
Michel de Montaigne quote: "Any person of honor chooses rather to lose his honor than to..."
Any person of honor chooses rather to lose his honor than to lose his conscience. Michel de Montaigne
Love to his soul gave eyes; he knew things are not as they seem. The dream is his real life; the world around him is the dream. Michel de Montaigne
