The poet, as everyone knows, must strike his individual note sometime between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. He may hold it a long time, or a short time, but it is then that he must strike it or never. School and college have been conducted with the almost express purpose of keeping him busy with something else till the danger of his ever creating anything is past.

Earth's the right place for love. I don't know where it's likely to go better.

I am a writer of books in retrospect. I talk in order to understand; I teach in order to learn.

There is the fear that we shan't prove worthy in the eyes of someone who knows us at least as well as we know ourselves. That is the fear of God. And there is the fear of Man -fear that men won't understand us and we shall be cut of from them.

The middle of the road is where the white line is - and that's the worst place to drive.

The best way out is always through.

Lovers, forget your love And list to the love of these She a window flower And he a winter breeze.
