You cannot know what I do not tell you, yet you will be judged harshly for not knowing.

Chew off a little every day, because it__ hard to swallow a whole pie at once.

No matter how loud the sirens or how numerous the hazard signs, we all touch the flames at least once to prove they're hot.

What you perceive as a failure today may actually be a crucial step towards the success you seek. Never give up.

Life's greatest lessons were not shown to me, read to me, illustrated or explained to me; they happened to me.

Nothing in this world compares to the comfort and security of having someone just hold your hand.

Knowledge gained is as useless as prideif filed away and never applied.

No one is without troubles, without personal hardships and genuine challenges. _That fact may not be obvious because most people don't advertise their woes and heartaches. _But nobody, not even the purest heart, escapes life without suffering battle scars.

Poetry is the wailing of a broken heart__he etched sorrows of despairing souls. _These artful words are an exclamation in rare colors expressed noiselessly on parchment. _Poetry is the unheard cry of a flower, wilting. _It is a humble, lucent tear shed with meaning. _It is the lovely portrayal of ugliness and the bitter edge of sweet. _Poetry speaks to the spirit by piercing understanding. It interprets all senseless truths__eauty, love, emotion__nto sensible scrawl. _Poetry is vague affirmation and bewildering clarification. Like the most poignant of emotions, we understand the essence but cannot adequately do it verbal justice, crippled by inherently weak tongues._ A spiritual soothsayer, poetry is the closest thing to expression of feelings unutterable.

What I've learned about writing is that sometimes less is more, while often more is grander. And both are true.

It is said that you can't write without a reader. The opposite holds true as well; you can't read without a writer. But if as a single, creative person you are one in the same, then, well.....problem solved! Great writing is born from that which we personally long to read.

Have you ever pondered the miracle of popcorn? It starts out as a tiny, little, compact kernel with magic trapped inside that when agitated, bursts to create something marvelously desirable. It__ sort of like those tiny, little thoughts trapped inside an author__ head that__n an excited explosion of words__uddenly become a captivating fairytale!

Imagine in vibrant, wonderful detail your heart__ desire__ reality only you can envision, an adventure only you can direct.Then cradle your creation. Caress it. Mold it. Coddle it until it comes to life.And when your precious treasure grows so grand as to steal your breath away, set it free for all the world to experience. For that is how you live your dreams.

The crazy thing about poetry is how its simplicity makes it complicated.

Do it again.Play it again. Sing it again. Read it again. Write it again. Sketch it again. Rehearse it again. Run it again. Try it

The rarest, truest beauty is visible only to the heart.

The real beauty of a woman is most clearly seen in the smiles of those who interact with her.

more. To have days cut off and at their end. To never again..........anything.
