I'm Always Hoping For The Nights That

When Things Are Going Well, I Hate To Quit.

I Started Growing Up In A Hurry And Taking A Lot Of The Philosophy I'd Heard From Church As A Kid A Lot More Seriously - Especially The Ten Commandments - And Wondering How 'thou Shalt Not Kill' Could Be So Absolutely Ignored. It Took Me Until I Was In My 40s To Write What I Was Thinking As A Young Soldier.

And There Is A Time Where You Can Be Beyond Yourself. You Can Be Better Than Your Technique. You Can Be Better Than Most Of Your Usual Ideas. And This Is A Whole Other Category That You Can Get Into.

If I Told You All The People That Have Secretly Told Me I've Influenced Them, You'd Never Believe It, And You'll Never See It In Print, Either.

I Prefer No One To Teach Me. I Prefer To Swing On My Own.
