“odd is the human complexity when examined and questioned. i wonder about all the roads not taken and am moved to quote Frost…but won’t. it is sad to be able only to mouth other poets. i want someone to mouth me.”

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want?
