Quote

The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle

If poetry comes not as naturally as the leaves to a tree, it had better not come at all

A writer is someone who can make a riddle out of an answer

I am fit for nothing but literature

We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.

Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them
