Poetry is the art of using language to transcend language.

Those who refuse to look at or give expression to the dark side of life are in denial-fear preventing passage through the door of growth, truth and, ultimately, wisdom.

The future is won or lost in the war of ideas.

Anyone who doesn't love animals has a serious hole in the heart.

Dead people are easy to love. It's the living ones who are hard.

War, hatred, and violence all spring from one infernal idea: that one person, race, creed, or culture is better than another.

We are the last generation with a real opportunity to save the world.
