I have been writing poetry for a long time now. I started writing in my school days.

Sports can't be run by governments.

Governments getting involved in sports activities would ultimately damage sports.

If there are malpractices in sports, part of the solution lies in the organisations themselves taking a very strong view and cleaning up the mess from within.

Great research universities around the world are visible not just through their quality graduates but as knowledge creators and technology developers.

If two people cannot live together, both should have the right to opt out of the marriage. In an ideal world, that would be an acceptable solution.

How do you trust a prime minister who said one thing before the elections and does exactly the opposite after the elections?

How do you trust a government whose people are proved to be untrustworthy?

My abiding faith in the wisdom of our electorate is what gives me hope.

All of us have a romantic streak in us. That's why we are fallible, aren't we?

I think poetry is a fabulous medium to encapsulate thoughts far more precisely than prose.

Smiley tears and teary smiles are priceless.

Some hae meat and canna eat And some wad eat that want it But we hae meat and we can eat And sae the Lord be thankit.

I work with nature, although in completely new terms.

I didn't have a happy childhood.

You are the crown of creation, and you've got no place to go.

We go into space because whatever mankind must undertake, free men must fully share.

The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance.

People who think they're free in this world just haven't come to the end of their leash yet.

The folly of mistaking oneself for an oracle is built right into us.

It's been proven that fitting more activity into your day can greatly improve your health.
