So many artists suffer from melancholy in all its shades, it is possible to forget that writing, like all creative acts, is essentially optimistic.
….if you write, it is because you hope to be read. However you express yourself, it will be because you feel instinctively that your expression has value. This hope, this expression, it sometimes burns hot in our youth, but it’s uncommon, actually, to master any kind of heat before middle age…We are forever young, so let us flame on, gloriously.

If you want to use any of this material contact me and there is a very good chance I will say YES.
However, if you just cut and paste into your own blog or whatever and pass it off as your own then there's a very good chance I will find out. Don't fall into the trap of thinking the internet is so vast and expanding so fast (note the fancy internal rhyme)] that no one will know.
