| gptkbp:famousQuote |
“The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.”
“Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.” “We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it.” “The mind is a place and it can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.” “Life is slow dying.” “They fuck you up, your mum and dad.” “What will survive of us is love.” “I am not a poet, I am a poet's poet.” “I think I am a poet.” “I want to be a poet, not a poet's poet.” “The only way to get rid of a bad idea is to have a better one.” |
