Thought for the day

"What genre do I want to write in? What kind of words will let me say what I want to say? Lucid but elliptical, authoritative in a non-tyrannical way, interesting, to the point (but not dry). Since I'm not sold on the boundaries as they are (literature, philosophy, religion, ethics, etc.), I'd like to run roughshod over them and have it work. I want my work to be pointedly exploratory."
