I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light.

I don't decide to represent anything except myself. But that self is full of collective memory.

I wish I were a candle in the darkness.

The importance of poetry is not measured, finally, by what the poet says but by how he says it.

Nothing, nothing justifies terrorism.

When I passed the age of 50, I learned how to control my emotions.

One day, I will be a poet. Water will depend on my visions.
