A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on. - Carl Sandburg

"Gather the stars if you wish it soGather the songs and keep them.Gather the faces of women.Gather for keeping years and years.And then...Loosen your hands, let go and say good-bye.Let the stars and songs go.Let the faces and years go.Loosen your hands and say good-bye."

"Time is the coin of your life. You spend it. Do not allow others to spend it for you."

"Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits."

"Tell no man anything, for no man listensYet hold thy lips ready to speak."

"Poetry is an echo asking a shadow to dance."
