Finding a way to live the simple life is one of life's supreme complications.

With a poem you can say 'I got my feeling into words for myself. I now have the equivalent in words for that much of what I have felt.'

We do not pass twice through the same door Or return to the door through which we did not pass.

Our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves, and of our visible, sensible world.

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

Humankind can't stand too much reality.

Friendship should be more than biting time can sever.
