“On our earth, before writing was invented, before the printing press was invented, poetry flourished. That is why we know that poetry is like bread; it should be shared by all, by scholars and by peasants, by all our vast, incredible, extraordinary family of humanity.”
“We are the time travelers that time forgot about.”
“You made a mistake, and sadly time travel has not yet been invented, so why are you still thinking about it?”
“Sometimes....we forgot why we chose to forget in the first place!”
“If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.”
