The big art is our life.

To have character is to be big enough to take life on.

The imagination equips us to perceive reality when it is not fully materialized.

Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can substitute for putting one foot in front of the other.

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.

It is for each of us freely to choose whom we shall serve, and find in that obedience our freedom.
