You must learn to love only that which cannot be stolen.

The most important question in the world is, 'Why is the child crying?'

I don't know nothing, I think. And glad of it.

My activism really is for myself, because I see places in the world where I feel I should be. If there is something really bad, really evil, happening somewhere, then that is where I should be. I need, for myself, to feel that I have stood there. It feels a lot better than just watching it on television.

It's an awful feeling to write something that you feel is really important... and to feel that you're being published by people who really don't get it and/or don't really care.

it is this broken road with pitfalls and sharp turns and unexpected traverses that has brought me joy and adventure.

Poetry, I have discovered, is always unexpected and always as faithful and honest as dreams.
