In a lethal world, poetry is necessary for survival.

Our works and our play. All our pleasures experienced as the pleasure of love. What could be better that? To feel in one's work the tender and flushed substance of one's dearest concern.

Who are enemies? Those who oppose each others will.

Compassion is an alternate perception

It is part of our pedagogy to teach the operations of thinking, feeling, and willing so that they may be made conscious. For if we do not know the difference between an emotion and a thought, we will know very little . . . We need to understand the components (of emotions) at work . . . in order to free their hold.

Love is not a doctrine, Peace is not an international agreement. Love and peace are beings who live as possibilities in us.

There is a creative spirit in you desiring to be free, and you may as well get out of its way for it will give you no peace until you do.
