“I know it's weird, but it does make it easier to write poetry in perl.”

“Remember, writing poetry is like making love: one will never know whether one's own pleasure is shared.”

“Will 2022 be easier? I do not know the answer to this. But I know that together we will make it.”

“I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.”

“The weird thing about saying good-bye is that it never gets easier.”

“Ultimately I am an employee of a corporation, and that’s weird, and does contradict some of the things I believe in. But at the same time, I have to make a living.”

“But you hate poetry!
Yes, but you make me want to write it.”

“I was seized with a strong desire to write poetry, so strong, in fact, that in imagination I thought I heard a voice crying in my ears –"Write! Write"I wondered what could be the matter with me, and I began to walk backwards and forwards in a great fit of excitement, saying to myself– "I know nothing about poetry."”

“If pain does not die
we shall make it poetry.”

“That's pretty weird—and when I say something's weird, you know it's serious.”
