...you have changed everything for me- you rearranged the furniture and now you've changed the view from my window!...

...I don't want security - to be self-assured - I want to risk my heart in making your portrait and be paid the wages of your devotion...

...don't think love is just an emotion - I am dangerous and you know it because I will do anything you ask me to do...

...writing with ferocity is a gift, provided that ferocity is a monomaniacal devotion to pursuing the truth ...

...you called me poet-priest - I am. ...devoted to my art, faithful to you...or, is the other way around?...
