The best way out is always through. - Robert Frost

"A poem begins with a lump in the throat; a homesickness or a love sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."

"Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence."

"I always entertain great hopes."

"To be a poet is a condition, not a profession."

"A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness."
