“Enjoy a life of poverty. Become a poet.”
“For poets the wages of sin are poverty.”
“Give me the poverty that enjoys true wealth.”
“If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place.”
“A poet is not something you become; a poet is something you are.”
“One does not become a poet by uttering beautiful words. One becomes a poet by pouring their soul as wine into the Cup of Love.”
