“If I were to choose between the power of writing a poem and the ecstasy of a poem unwritten, I would choose the ecstasy. It is better poetry.”

“And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.”

“He who seeks ecstasy in love should not complain of suffering.”

“And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.”

“Yes, there is a Nirvanah; it is leading your sheep to a green pasture, and in putting your child to sleep, and in writing the last line of your poem”

“Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,That we may record our emptiness.”

“We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.”
