More From Alexander Pope

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

Just me, just me sweet marie, she loves just me (she also loves maurice mcghee). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves louise dupree). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves the willow tree). no she don't, she loves just me! (poor, poor fool, why can't you see she can love others and still love thee.)

Joy is what makes life worth living, but for many joy seems hard to find. they complain that their lives are sorrowful and depressing. what then brings the joy we so much desire? are some people just lucky, while others have run out of luck? strange as it may sound, we can choose joy. two people can be part of the same event, but one may choose to live it quite differently than the other. one may choose to trust that what happened, painful as it may be, holds a promise. the other may choose despair and be destroyed by it. what makes us human is precisely this freedom of choice.

She was made up of more, too. she was the books she read in the library. she was the flower in the brown bowl. part of her life was made from the tree growing rankly in the yard. she was the bitter quarrels she had with her brother whom she loved dearly. she was katie's secret, despairing weeping. she was the shame of her father stumbling home drunk. she was all of these things and of something more...it was what god or whatever is his equivalent puts into each soul that is given life - the one different thing such as that which makes no two fingerprints on the face of the earth alike.

How can god stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him; for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.

The idea that hispanics or women or any other group of people think alike, vote alike? that's what democrats want. they want mind-numbed robots who all think alike and who all vote alike. it's easy! you dumb them down, you get rid of critical thinking, and you just have a blob, basically, out there of people that look for the d on the ballot and pull the lever.

I think paranoia goes from generation to generation. it's convenient to imagine that there's a few people controlling everything, that way it's manageable and small. but that's not life, life is messy.

This world,' she said. 'do you really like it?' what a question! farid never asked himself such things. he was glad to be with dustfinger again and didn't mind where that was. it's a cruel world, don't you think?' meggie went on. 'mo often told me i forget how cruel it is too easily.' with his burned fingers, farid stroke her fair hair. it shone even in the dark. 'they're all cruel,' he said. 'the world i come from, the world you come from, and this one, too. maybe the people don't see the cruelty in your world right away, it's better hidden, but it's there all the same.

A writer doesn't only need the time when he's actually writing - he or she has got to have time to think and time just to let things work out. nothing is worse for this than society. nothing is worse for this than the abrasive, if enjoyable, effect of other people.
