mother advice age
Mothers have a habit of proving right except you don't find that out until you're the age your mother was when she gave you the advice.
mother sorrow bills
Death is a greatly overrated experience. I hated Mother's and I'm not looking forward to my own. Apart from the sorrow there are the bills to be paid. Nobody dies for free.
mother aunt past
No one remembers her beginnings. Mothers and aunts tell us about infancy and early childhood, hoping we won't forget the past when they had total control over our lives and secretly praying that because of it, we'll include them in our future.
mother aunt feelings
Mother believed in enjoying herself. Aunt Mimi believed in enjoying herself, then feeling guilty about it.
love mother powerful
Mother love is the most powerful, the most irrational force on earth, even more powerful than sexual love. However, one does lead to the other, so best not to spurn the former.
mother profound abandoned
When Mother died I was both freed and abandoned, as are we all at this profound juncture in our lives.
entertainment
Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.
best life mean next
I have no idea what will come next in my writing life or life in general. I like not knowing, but I know what I want. That doesn't mean it will happen, but I'll give it my best try.
assess great literary social work
I don't think you can ever assess your work. I don't think Turgenev could assess his any more than I can assess mine, and his didn't have a social impact as much as great literary impact.
bad experience good
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
love people
The only queer people are those who don't love anybody.
bad experience good judgment
Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.
love life being-yourself
About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all.
writing views pay
I write poetry. It comes naturally to me, but from a technical point of view it forces me to pay close attention to language and to scan.
