Summary

This quote means that it is preferable to live boldly and take risks, even if it is only for a short period of time, rather than being passive and conforming throughout one's entire life. Being a lion represents being courageous, strong, and independent, while being a sheep symbolizes being weak, docile, and easily influenced by others. Thus, the quote encourages individuals to break free from societal expectations and embrace their inner strength and individuality in order to truly experience life to its fullest.

I think it comes from really liking literary forms. Poetry is very beautiful, but the space on the page can be as affecting as where the text is. Like when Miles Davis doesn't play, it has a poignancy to it.

Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that's the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over?

Short fiction is the medium I love the most, because it requires that I bring everything I've learned about poetry - the concision, the ability to say something as vividly as possible - but also the ability to create a narrative that, though lacking a novel's length, satisfies the reader.

Scientists hated to look backward for anything.
