You must not fear, hold back, count or be a miser with your thoughts and feelings. It is also true that creation comes from an overflow, so you have to learn to intake, to imbibe, to nourish yourself and not be afraid of fullness. The fullness is like a tidal wave which then carries you, sweeps you into experience and into writing.

Writing, Feelings, Wave

That is my essential reason for writing, not for fame, not to be celebrated after death, but to heighten and create life all around me. I also write because when I am writing I reach the high moment of fusion sought by the mystics, the poets, the lovers, a sense of communion with the universe.

Writing, Fusion, Essentials

Through love, through friendship, a heart lives more than one life.

I find that life, day by day, is composed of at least one joy, one problem and one sorrow. Then there are the smaller ingredients: you always learn something, whether useful or harmful - that is difficult to analyze until later; you always give something; you alwayou always grow a little in one direction or another.

One Direction, Giving, Joy

Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. And then love will come to you, then it comes to you.

World, Stand Alone

What a mystery this is, desire. The love sickness, the sensitivity, the obsession, the flutter of the heart, the ebb and flow of the blood. There is no drug and no alcohol to equal it.

Heart, Blood, Ebb And Flow

I don't wish power, only art -art and passion.

Art, Passion, Wish

The bed must be a beautiful place, not only because you make love there but because you dream there as well.

Beautiful, Dream, Making Love

I can’t let you go now. I want to go places with you; obscure little places, just to be able to say: here I came with her.

Want, Littles, Able

Life is so fluid that one can only hope to capture the living moment, to capture it alive and fresh ... without destroying that moment.

Alive, Life Is, Moments

"D. H. Lawrence and Nine Women Writers" by Leo Hamalian, (p. 93), 1996.

The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue. The writer's responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness.

Writing, Eye, Responsibility

Will you come down and kiss me good night?

Good Night, Kissing, Down And
