Poetry: n. An arrangement wherein the walls against discovery and understanding are brought down by the fewest words, by the right words in their best order. Poetry is the smallest footprint crossing from feeling to wisdom.
A poem is never finished,
only abandoned.
~Paul Valery
Writing is like driving a car at
night. You can only see as far
as the headlights, but you make
the whole trip that way.
~E L Doctorow
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery
