They have strange quiet,
Integrity, health, soundness, to the full
They've dealt with life and been tempered by it.
(Promise Of Peace)
More Quotes from Robinson Jeffers:
Why does insanity always twist the great answers Because only tormented persons want truth. Man is an animal like other animals, wants food and success and women, not truth. Only if the mind Tortured by some interior tension has despaired of happiness then it hates its life-cage and seeks further, And finds, if it is powerful enough. But instantly the private agony that made the search Muddles the finding. Then search for truth is foredoomed and frustrate Only stained fragments Until the mind has turned its love from itself and man, from parts to the whole.Robinson JEFFERS
What's the best life for a man?
Robinson Jeffers
To feel greatly, and understand greatly, and express greatly, the natural; Beauty, is the sole business of poetry. The rest's diversion those holy or noble sentiments, the intricate ideas, The love, lust, longing reasons, but not the reason.

Shiva... is the only hunter that will ever catch the wild swan; The prey she will take last is the wild white swan of the beauty of things. Then she will be alone, pure destruction, achieved and supreme, Empty darkness under the death-tent wings. She will build a nest of the swan's bones and hatch a new brood, Hang new heavens with new birds, all be renewed.
Robinson JEFFERS
At least Love your eyes that can see, your mind that can
Hear the music, the thunder of the wings.

I'm the biggest nerd - I love comic books and stuff like that! I don't have any friends who are actresses. I only had one girlfriend when I was growing up. Most of my friends were boys. I was such a tomboy. I enjoyed doing guy things.
