Poetry cannot take sides except with life.

When you read and understand a poem, comprehending its rich and formal meanings, then you master chaos a little.

Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.

The greatest poets are those with memories so great that they extend beyond their strongest experiences to their minutest observations of people and things far outside their own self-centeredness.

History is the ship carrying living memories to the future.

When a child, my dreams rode on your wishes, I was your son, high on your horse, My mind a top whipped by the lashes Of your rhetoric, windy of course.

I think continually of those who were truly great.

There is a certain justice in criticism. The critic is like a midwife - a tyrannical midwife.

All that you can imagine you already know.

So i learned both to accept myself and to aim beyond myself

All the posters on the walls All the leaflets in the streets Are mutilated, destroyed or run in rain, Their words blotted out with tears, Skins peeling from their bodies In the victorious hurricane.

The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.

A good place to begin, is to forgive yourself for judging in the first place.

The man never feels the want of what it never occurs to him to ask for.

Once we go beyond this and start to open up and question and experience things in a different way, we can move forward.

I'm not so think as you drunk I am !

Find that place which is effortlessly at rest within itself. Be there-be one with that.

I'm still a mod, I'll always be a mod, you can bury me a mod.

Forgiveness is mental floss! Build the capacity to forgive slowly - start with little unkind acts, otherwise you'll sabotage yourself. When we forgive, we forgive the actor, not the action.

If you really want your hair to look good, just don't wash it for a day. That's my secret.
