“Write verse, not poetry. The public wants verse. If you have a talent for poetry, then don't by any means mother it, but try your hand at verse.”

I have an intense dislike for artificial society. In France, one could lead a free life - to do what one wanted to do without interference or criticism from one's neighbors.
The only society I like is rough and tough, and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.
No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success If he thinks he is a winner, then he is.
Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.
