“My Nation, Your Nation (Sonnet) My nation, your nation, my religion, your religion, my culture, your culture, will be the end of us apes - outwardly fancy, inwardly filthy, sneering, leering, gutter-crawling, conniving, two-faced, fanatic, frivolous, pointless bloody apes - apes who can't see right from wrong, without the blinkers of creed - apes who can't tell order from disorder, unless instructed by legal decree - apes who would sell their own brother, if monkey kings command, it's patriotic.”

“If you want to find out if someone is truly holy, don't ask them whether they believe in god, ask them instead, what they think of other religions, and if their response is that of appreciation, then you know that their heart is truly sacred, but if they rush to blabber about their own religion, then they're no more holy than I am white.”

“A writer’s voice emanates from their interest and compulsions that absorbs them completely. Only by fully committing himself or herself to a pet subject or issue can the writer develop a thematic tone that speaks to other people with authority and serenity.

The strident edginess behind a writer’s searchlight voice is a product of the natural tension that engenders when an apathetic writer believes death could arrive tonight. Stunned by fear of a hard deadline, the writer is jolted from their state of laziness and mental neglect that trolling inertia dampens their aptitude to love life.”
