Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.

I've always been politically minded and against the status quo. It's pretty basic when you're brought up, like I was, to hate and fear the police as a natural enemy and to despise the army as something that takes everybody away and leaves them dead somewhere.

I realized that kids everywhere go for the same stuff; and seeing as we'd done it in England, there's no reason why we couldn't do it in America too.

I've always considered my work one piece and I consider that my work won't be finished until I am dead and buried and I hope that's a long, long time.

Love is a promise; love is a souvenir.

How poetry comes to the poet is a mystery.

Life is what's going on while your making other plans.
