The soul inside me is the last foreign language I'm learning.

My poems are political in the deeper sense of the word. Political means to live in your time, to be a man of your time.

Every intelligent person, whether hes an artist or not - a mathematician, a doctor, a scientist - possesses a poetic way of seeing and describing the world.

Knowledge of peace passes from country to country, like children's games, which are so much alike, everywhere.

Even if a poet writes about sitting in a glass house drinking tea, it reflects politics.

I wanted to be calm, like a mound with all its cities destroyed, and tranquil, like a full cemetery.

The soul inside me is the last foreign language I'm learning.
