"The secret of poetry is never explained - is always new. We have not got farther than mere wonder at the delicacy of the touch, & the eternity it inherits. In every house a child that in mere play utters oracles, & knows not that they are such. 'Tis as easy as breath. 'Tis like this gravity, which holds the Universe together, & none knows what it is."

"All creatures are flawed, but out of the flaw may come the universe."
Philosophy
"I never thought of myself as either a woman or a man. I thought of myself as a person who was born to a writer, who was doomed to be a writer."
Thought
"If you understand hallucination and illusion, you don't blindly follow any leader. You must know if the person is sane or insane, over the abyss."
Leadership
"I would teach from nine to four, sleep an hour, and write from six until midnight, night after night."
Writing
"If there is no certain reality, the idea of following a leader must be scrutinized."
Leadership

Career
"At the age of 18 all young poets are sure they will be dead at 21 - of old age."
Age
"Some of the poetic writers who insert passages of realism in their texts have no underlying philosophy to uphold them, and revert to realism."
Philosophy
"There were also some cruel reviews by women, but the tone of the male reviewers, sometimes hysterical, was different. I have suffered, but I don't want to name names-but there have been men who have seemed to want to destroy me or my writing, men I don't even know."
Man
"I knew Anais Nin, who called me after I had been away for a few years. She was seeking help because at that time no one would give her a decent review. She was made fun of."
