Sometimes I have to tell people I don’t do autographs, thank you very much. At certain places, I refuse to have my photograph taken  (I Refuse Quotes) I refuse to let anybody try to typecast me. It’s against my nature. I like to continually do different things  (I Refuse Quotes) I refuse to do anything easy. I’m writing for the smartest person out there.

Waiting to catch me, even though I refused to fall just yet  (I Refuse Quotes) This poem has been called obscure. I refuse to believe that it is obscurer than pity, violence, or suffering. But being a poem, not a lifetime, it is more compressed  (I Refuse Quotes) .. but maybe this was a defense mechanism. Maybe my mind was making me see things I refused to accept were gone forever.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word  (I Refuse Quotes) No matter what these terrorists do, I refuse to be terrorized.
