“What is poetry which does not save nations or people?”
“A nation which thinks that it is belief in God and not good law which makes people honest does not seem to me very advanced.”
“Teachers are the one and only people who save nations.”
“There is not a particle of life which does not bear poetry within it”
“Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.”
“There is a grand union beyond nationalism which serves all people, and which is rooted in what is real, versus what has been created or produced.”
