I am always a beginner. I only try to include different parts of life; the pastoral, the tragic, et cetera.

Certain gardens are described as retreats when they are really attacks.

The present order is the disorder of the future.

I came to these mediums through having the garden, and of course, people who have designed gardens have always worked in collaboration, and never made their own inscriptions.

People have always found me challenging - I don't know why, when I am only being myself. I don't understand why they find me so annoying but they do. It is pity, but that is how it is.

As a friendly one. I would still like to write concrete poems, but I can only do it sometimes.

Little Sparta is a garden in the traditional sense. It is perhaps not like other modern gardens, but I think that other times would have had no difficulty with it.

What you compose with is neither here nor there, you compose with words, or you compose with stone plants and trees, or you compose with events; the Sheriff's officer, or whatever.

No, I don't make my work in order to challenge or confuse other people's expectations - I only do what I find natural.

But at the beginning it was clear to me that concrete poetry was peculiarly suited for using in public settings. This was my idea, but of course I never really much got the chance to do it.

But I can only write what the muse allows me to write. I cannot choose, I can only do what I am given, and I feel pleased when I feel close to concrete poetry - still.

You will not be the same person coming out of a relationship as you were going into it.

Alas, the transports beauty can inspire!

I hate sequels. They're never as good as the first book.

Andrew hated to see her humiliated and pathetic like this; but he half hated her too for landing herself in it, when any idiot could have seen.

There is, in addition to a courage with which men die; a courage by which men must live.

Now "professional" seems to be whoever you went to school with. It constitutes your nuclear world. And that's the fault of the teachers; it's not the fault of the young artist.

I'm a fan of music, first and foremost. So I do things from the perspective of a fan.

It's the investor who is risky, not the investment.

Kennedy saw the insurgency as a anti-colonial, essentially nationalist movement, feeding on social discontent. So you don't shoot people.

A man who makes no enemies is never a positive force.
