“Poetry makes nothing happen.”
“We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know.” “If I could tell you what I wanted, there would be no point in writing.” “The more a man knows, the more he realizes he does not know.” “There is no such thing as the right time.” |
