Nobody knows that in reading we are re-living our temptations to be a poet. All readers who have a certain passion for reading, nurture and repress, through reading, the desire to become a writer.

He who ceases to learn cannot adequately teach.

Love is never finished expressing itself, and it expresses itself better the more poetically it is dreamed.

Instead of looking for the dream in reverie, people should look for reverie in the dream. There are calm beaches in the midst of nightmares.

The poetic image exists apart from causality.

It is better to live in a state of impermanence than in one of finality.

By listening to certain words as a child listens to the sea in a seashell, a word dreamer hears the murmur of a world of dreams.
