Probably one of my all time favortie quotes about writing...

"I write poetry to talk back to Whitman.

I write poetry because my head contains 10,000 thoughts.

I write poetry because the English word 'inspiration' comes from the Latin word 'spiritus' (breath) and I want to breathe freely.

I write poetry because I suffer confusion not knowing what other people think.

I write poetry because it's the best way to say everything in my mind within 6 mintues to a lifetime..."

-Allen Ginsberg
