Tell all the Truth but tell it slant—
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise

As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind—

Emily Dickinson

Marvelously inspiring arspoetics, like metafiction except in poetry. Poetry about writing poetry.

Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers. --Isaac Asimov

Time is the fire in which we burn. --Gene Roddenberry

Always be yourself... unless you suck. --Joss Whedon

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. --Ray Bradbury

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious and anything self-conscious is lousy. You cannot try to do things. You simply must do things. --Ray Bradbury

My stories run up and bite me on the leg-I respond by writing down everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off. --Ray Bradbury

Art is never finished, only abandoned.
