Poetry is an affair of sanity, of seeing things as they are.
Something, like nothing, happens anywhere.
I like spaghetti because you don't have to take your eyes off the book to pick about among it, it's all the same.
A writer can have only one language, if language is going to mean anything to him.
They say eyes clear with age.
Novels seem to me to be richer, broader, deeper, more enjoyable than poems.
