Manifesto

1. Scribble. Think later.
2. Do good for others first. Poetry second. (Maybe.)
3. Ars gratia artis.
4. Remember your ancestors.
5. Speak in many languages.
6. Resist the urge to despise.
7. Do not promote. State facts.
8. If you are good, multiply. If you are evil, do not multiply, even if you can sing.
9. Value even small rewards.
10. Teaching is a form of charity.
11. Beauty obscures goodness.
12. Keep scribbling.
13. Prepare to be alone.
