MIGHTY LIKE A ROSE

Click for large image

"It's like the anger thing. It's only as useful to you as you can employ it. You can't always be in a rage about everything, a curmudgeon. I mean, why would anyone be like that? You'd just make yourself miserable. I guess there are people like that but I'm not one of them. Maybe what you learn over a period of time is how to use it, like a beam on a particular thing you're moved to write about...As for hate, on the evidence of Mighty Like A Rose, I'd have to say yes, I don't consciously invite it, it's just the way it is".
