So for everything i do, i'm very clear about what i'm doing, and i tell people what it's about. they get a sense of what i'm thinking. i don't let people think i'm going to write something in praise in the meatpacking industry, and then they read it and it's actually attacking the meatpacking industry.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

Do you have doubts about life? are you unsure if it's worth the trouble? look at the sky: that is for you. look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. and the street itself, and the ground under the street and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. they are as much for you as they are for other people. remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing. stand up and face the east. now praise the sky and praise the light within each person under the sky. it's okay to be unsure. but praise, praise, praise.

To me, attacking football happens when makelele gets the ball and passes it to the central defender who passes it to the right-back who comes forward and judges the situation. if he can do something he passes forward or runs with the ball, if not he gives it back to makelele who builds the attack again. that is attacking football. in england attacking football is giving the ball to makelele and having him hit it forward no matter what, even if everybody is marked.

It's not possible to advise a young writer because every young writer is so different. you might say, "read," but a writer can read too much and be paralyzed. or, "don't read, don't think, just write," and the result could be a mountain of drivel. if you're going to be a writer you'll probably take a lot of wrong turns and then one day just end up writing something you have to write, then getting it better and better just because you want it to be better, and even when you get old and think, "there must be something else people do," you won't be able to quit.
