More From Zell Miller

The soldier's heart, the soldier's spirit, the soldier's soul, are everything. unless the soldier's soul sustains him he cannot be relied on and will fail himself and his commander and his country in the end.
Country Heart Soul
One of the surest tests of the superiority or inferiority of a poet is the way in which a poet borrows. immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. the good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. a good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

It's a big thing to call yourself a poet. all i can say is that i have always written poems. i don't think i'm interested in any discussion about whether i'm a good poet, a bad poet or a great poet. but i am sure, i want to write great poems. i think every poet should want that.
Writing Thinking Want
There is this tendency to think that if you could only find the magic way, then you could become a poet. "tell me how to become a poet. tell me what to do." . . . what makes you a poet is a gift for language, an ability to see into the heart of things, and an ability to deal with important unconscious material. when all these things come together, you're a poet. but there isn't one little gimmick that makes you a poet. there isn't any formula for it.
Heart Thinking Magic
Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.

There are many actors who have inspired me: spencer tracy for his incredible elegance and, of course, cary grant. but, there's also an italian actor i admire a great deal: alberto sordi.

The functionaries of public power rarely strengthen in their dispositions to abridge it, and an unorganized call for timely amendment is not likely to prevail against an organized opposition to it. we are always told that things are going on well; why change them? 'chi sta bene, no si mueve,' said the italian, 'let him who stands well, stand still.' this is true; and i verily believe they would go on well with us under an absolute monarch, while our present character remains, of order, industry and love of peace, and restrained as he would be, by the proper spirit of the people.
