One must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star. -Nietzsche

About Me

A writer, or any man, must believe that whatever happens to him is an instrument; everything has been given for an end. This is even stronger in the case of the artist. Everything that happens, including humiliations, embarrassments, misfortunes, and all have been given like clay, like material for one's art. One must accept it. For this reason I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so." Jorge Luis Borges an excerpt from "Blindness".I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
