In fact, the attempts to destroy such loves only strengthen them. And to do nothing allows them to continue to... Ben Okri
You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word. I'm a trapeze artist. Bob Dylan
Now this is the first rule of fight club: There is nothing a blue collar Nobody in Oregon with a public school education can imagine that a million-billion people haven't already done... Chuck Palahniuk
