"Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackma..." — Jean Cocteau

Poetry is indispensable - if I only knew what for.

Here I am trying to live, or rather, I am trying to teach the death within me how to live.

The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood.

There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them.
