Quotes by Genichiro Takahashi (?)

“I’m not so good at interpreting poetry.
When I read a poem, I respond to it in one of two ways: “Wow, this is great!” or “God, this is awful!” I have no other responses.”
― Genichiro Takahashi, Sayonara, Gangsters

“No riddles while we're in bed, okay?" Song Book whispers as she reaches over and wraps her hands around mine.
I couldn't agree more.
As far as I'm concerned, beds are meant for making love, for falling asleep in while holding hands, or for flipping over to serve as a barricade, and nothing else.”
― Genichiro Takahashi, Sayonara, Gangsters

“Those Who Write Imaginatively Must Be Prepared to Face a Firing Squad

This is the poster on the door of "The Poetry School" where I teach. The famous dictum is short and clear, and it is also true.”
― Genichiro Takahashi, Sayonara, Gangsters
