All poetry comes from repetition.

When you get an idea, go and write. Don't waste it in conversation.

You can't be too influenced by a great poet. You simply have to live through it.

If you want to know how much I love and care for you, count the waves.

Picasso said once when being interviewed that one should not be one's own connoisseur.
