About Me

Devotion.

If you take my pen, I will hunt you down.

"...beyond even self-doubt no writer can justify ruthlessness for the sake of his work, because being human to the fullest possible extent is what his work demands of him." - May Sarton, A World of Light

"The world is too wounded/not to write..." - Rachel Klein, "For Joy"

"What I really wanted was every kind of life, and the writer’s life seemed the most inclusive." - Susan Sontag

"We can't accelerate our lives now beyond the normal.... No, what you must come to discover is where your own deepest need lies -- that is hard enough....We live by faith in the end, not by reason. If you are a real poet you'll never be sure -- there'll always be the enormous risk to take, the risk that you are following a will-o'-the-wisp, as my father used to say. And you may not even know when you die, whether you had the right to take the risk." - May Sarton, The Bridge of Years

"For must one not try to be at every instant the whole of what one would choose to be for eternity? To fail now, to be less than the utmost possible, was perhaps to fail for all eternity.” - May Sarton, The Bridge of Years
