Quote

Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with.

He thought that I was after him for a feather--- The white one in his tail: like one who takes everything said as personal to himself.

I write to find out what I didn't know I knew.

At bottom the world isn't a joke. We only joke about it to avoid an issue with someone, to let someone know that we know he's there with his questions to disarm him by seeming to have heard and done justice to his side of the standing argument.

Affection is an overpowering craving to be compellingly sought.

When I was young, I was so interested in baseball that my family was afraid I'd waste my life and be a pitcher. Later they were afraid I'd waste my life and be a poet. They were right.

I dwell in a lonely house I know That vanished many a summer ago.
Robert Frost
Image
Yes, and even for the past...that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was. Something I can accept. Mistakes made by the self I had to be or was not able to be.

The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day. When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, a cloud come over the sunlit arch, And wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March.

People who read me seem to be divided into four groups: twenty-five percent like me for the right reasons twenty-five percent like me for the wrong reasons twenty-five percent hate me for the wrong reasons twenty-five percent hate me for the right reasons. It's that last twenty-five percent that worries me.

I don't like to see things on purpose. I like them to soak in. A friend . . . asked me to go to the top of the Empire State Building once, and I told him that he shouldn't treat New York as a sight-it's feeling, an emotional experience. And the same with every place else.

That day she put our heads together, Fate had her imagination about her, Your head so much concerned with outer, Mine with inner, weather.
