Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.

It's strange that words are so inadequate. Yet, like the asthmatic struggling for breath, so the lover must struggle for words.

As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.

Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.

Playwriting gets into your blood and you can't stop it. At least not until the producers or the public tell you to.

If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
