My room for books and study or for sitting and thinking about nothing in particular to see what would happen was at the end of a hall.

I make it clear why I write as I do and why other poets write as they do. After hundreds of experiments I decided to go my own way in style and see what would happen.

I have often wondered what it is an old building can do to you when you happen to know a little about things that went on long ago in that building.

I knew I would read all kinds of books and try to get at what it is that makes good writers good. But I made no promises that I would write books a lot of people would like to read.

Nothing happens unless first we dream.

The republic is a dream, Nothing happens unless first a dream
