It has often been observed that the repercussion of poetic language on prose language can be considered a decisive cut of a whip.

Many of today's verses are prose and bad prose.

But poets were not considered dangerous and they were advised to exercise self-censorship. At most, poets were requested not to write at all. I took advantage of this negative liberty.

Too many lives are needed to make just one.

Art is the production of objects for consumption, to be used and discarded while waiting for a new world in which man will have succeeded in freeing himself of everything, even of his own consciousness.

Mass communication, radio, and especially television, have attempted, not without success, to annihilate every possibility of solitude and reflection.

In reality art is always for everyone and for no one.
