“Our suicidal poets (Plath, Berryman, Lowell, Jarrell, et al.) spent too much of their lives inside rooms and classrooms when they should have been trudging up mountains, slogging through swamps, rowing down rivers. The indoor life is the next best thing to premature burial.”

This is interesting (Abbey again):

“Good writing can be defined as having something to say and saying it well. When one has nothing to say, one should remain silent. Silence is always beautiful at such times.”

Goes for talking too. I notice that the older (and wiser) I get, the more I’m silent when I truly have nothing to add. Seems when I was a kid and a teen, I use to inject words and sound all the time just to avoid silence.

That’s all for now.
