I wish every one in the world was as warm and sheltered as we are tonight.

Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it.

one reason why I like writing poetry - you can say so many things in it that are true in poetry but wouldn't be true in prose.

I feel as if something has been torn suddenly out of my life and left a terrible hole. I feel as if I couldn't be I — as if I must have changed into somebody else and couldn't get used to it. It gives me a horrible lonely, dazed, helpless feeling. It's good to see you again — it seems as if you were a sort of anchor for my drifting soul.

brains last, beauty doesn't.

It was really dreadful to be so different from other people…and yet rather wonderful, too, as if you were a being strayed from another star.

You were never poor as long as you had something to love.
