Thomas Lynch Quotes

Grief is the tax we pay on our attachments Picture Quote #1

But poetry is a way of language, it is not its subject or its maker’s background or interests or hobbies or fixations. It is nearer to utterance than history Picture Quote #1

So I suppose poetry, language, the shaping of it, was and remains for me an effort to make sense out of essentially senseless situations Picture Quote #1

Wanting to be near my bread and butter business which was my hairstyling salon, I have done little touring during my lifetime. I hate all this moving around from hotel to hotel, packing and unpacking. I know many entertainers agree with me on this subject Picture Quote #1

Well the themes for me were and remain sex and love and grief and death - the things that make us and undo us, create and destroy, how we breed and disappear and the emotional context that surrounds these events Picture Quote #1

A good funeral gets the dead where they need to go and the living where they need to be Picture Quote #1

I’m more interested in the meaning of funerals and the mourning that people do. It’s not a retail experience. It’s an existential one Picture Quote #1

Poems seem to have a life of their own. They tell you when enough is enough Picture Quote #1

Whatever’s there to feel, feel it – the riddance, the relief, the fright and freedom, the fear of forgetting, the dull ache of your own mortality. Get with someone you can trust with tears, with anger, and wonderment and utter silence. Get that part done – the sooner the better. The only way around these things is through them Picture Quote #1

There’s no easy way to do this. So do it right: weep, laugh, watch, pray, love, live, give thanks and praise; comfort, mend, honor, and remember Picture Quote #1

Grief is the price we pay for being close to one another. If we want to avoid our grief, we simply avoid each other Picture Quote #1
