Life in freedom is not easy, and democracy is not perfect.
We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.
Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us.
Politics is a jungle-torn between doing the right thing and staying in office.
We shall pay any price, bear any burden, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
If more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place in which to live.
