All men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight. Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle

That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst

If it's purely autobiographical and ego-driven, it's going to fail. ~Nick Flynn
