Never Read Bad Stuff If You're An

I Looked At Lucas With The Pang That A Parent Feels When He Knows His Child Will Be Hurt And That It's No One's Fault And That To Try To Preempt The Rites Of Passage Is An Act Of Contempt For The Child's Courage.

How Do You Caution A Fawn About A Cigarette A Motorist Has Just Flipped From His Car Window Into A Patch Of Yellow Grass, Or Tell A Sparrow That Winged Creatures Eventually Plummet To Earth?

I Believe Every...man Remembers The Girl He Thinks He Should Have Married. She Reappears To Him In His Lonely Moments, Or He Sees Her In The Face Of A Young Girl In The Park, Buying A Snowball Under An Oak Tree By The Baseball Diamond. But She Belongs To Back There, To Somebody Else, And That Thought Sometimes Rends Your Heart In A Way That You Never Share With Anyone Else.

Don't Undo A Brave And Noble Deed. Don't Rob Yourself Of Your Own Virtue.

Write For The Love Of Your Art. Someplace Down The Road, The Money, The Fame, They'll Come, But By That Time You Won't Be Thinking In Terms Of Money Or Fame.
