Writing is the one part of my soul that remains untouched by the filth of the perverse world.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.-Theodore Roosevelt

I hope to someday write not as a hobby, but as a profession.

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.-Dead Poets Society

I wish to dwell in the presence of the greats...Yeats...Shakespeare...Tolstoy...Irving...Steinbeck...and of course, the great Zora Neale Hurston.

I wish to live, and love, and even die, like the greats.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.
-Emily Dickinson

Life. It is a grand affair. Live it with the only mistress worth loving...the great art itself.

Write.
