“Time cannot children,poets,lovers tell-measure imagine,mystery,a kiss-not though mankind would rather know than feel”
“Fanatics are picturesque, mankind would rather see gestures than listen to reasons.”
“I would rather feel contrition than know how to define it.”
“I would rather be a swineherd, understood by the swine, than a poet misunderstood by men.”
“This is one of those times when explaining a feeling cannot measure up to actually having the feeling”
“To write and not tell the truth? That would be death for any writer. But more, it would be death to the imagination. And if the imagination dies, what would happen to the souls of children?”
