"Go for broke. Always try and do too much. Dispense with safety nets. Take a deep breath before you begin talking. Aim for the stars. Keep grinning. Be bloody-minded. Argue with the world. And never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things--childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves--that go on slipping , like sand, through our fingers."
"Ambition is greed without makeup."
"Stay with your passion but have a philosophy that is beyond your strength so that you can have a legacy, even a legacy that will outlast you."
"There's two ways to become a famous Poet, find that one person that knows somebody, that knows somebody, that knows somebody. Or die trying."
"It is the possibility of the dream, which quickens my spirit to take action."
"It is the most ambitious and driven among us who are the most sorely in need of having our reckless hopes dampened through immersive dousings in the darkness which religions have explored. This is a particular priority for secular Americans, perhaps the most anxious and disappointed people on earth, for their nation infuses them with the most extreme hopes about what they may be able to achieve in their working lives and relationships."
