People get wisdom from thinking, not from learning.

Poetry is a sleep-maker for that which sits up late in us listening for the footfall of the future on to-day's doorstep.

Women are strangers in the country of man.

Truth rings no bells.

We wait, all, for a story of us that shall reach to where we are. We listen for our own speaking; and we hear much that seems our speaking, yet makes us strange to ourselves.

People get wisdom from thinking, not from learning.

Every thought sounds like a footfall, Till a thought like a boot kicks down the wall.
