“Poetry, she thought, wasn't written to be analyzed; it was meant to inspire without reason, to touch without understanding.”
“It was a sudden inspiration. But inspiration never came without a reason.”
“Here I understand what is meant by glory: the right to love without limits.”
“He who approaches the temple of the Muses without inspiration, in the belief that craftsmanship alone suffices, will remain a bungler and his presumptuous poetry will be obscured by the songs of the maniacs.”
“I've written some poetry I don't understand myself”
“Only those things are beautiful which are inspired by madness and written by reason.”
