Temptation out of reach does you no good.

The problem with anger is that once it burns out, you're left with empty tanks.
CRAIG JOHNSON
The Cold Dish
If there's a character type I despise, it's the all-capable, all-knowing, physically perfect protagonist. My idea of hell would be to be trapped in a four-hundred page, first-person, first-tense, running monologue with a character like that. I think writers who produce characters along those lines should graduate from high school and move on.

I approach poetry and spirituality like literary nitroglycerin -- a little can do a lot and you better damn well be careful with it.
