We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.

The more uncertain I am, the more I feel the need to paint.

孤独不是缺乏陪伴，孤独是缺乏目标。

To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern, that no shade of quality escapes it.
