“Does writing poetry make you brave? It is a good question to ask. I think making anything is a brave thing to do. Not like fighting brave, obviously. But a kind that looks at a horrible situation and doesn’t crumble.
Making anything assumes there’s a world worth making it for. That you’ll have someplace, like a clown’s pants, to hide it when people come to take it away.
I guess I’m saying making something is a hopeful thing to do.
And being hopeful in a world of pain is either brave or crazy.”
― Everything Sad Is Untrue

― Everything Sad Is Untrue
“Question everything...as some of it is just plain wrong and may actually be making you quite ill!”
