My goal is to create music that stands the test of time.

The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time.

A poet can service everything but a misprint.

The blank page is the most terrifying and exhilarating thing in the world.

I’ve been through a lot, but I’m still standing.

To read is to travel without moving; to write is to move without traveling.
