Nothing goes further toward a man's liberation than the act of surviving his need for character.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea.

What has any poet to trust more than the feel of the thing? Theory concerns him only until he picks up his pen, and it begins to concern him again as soon as he lays it down.

Nothing is stranger to man than his own image.

Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.

No man can climb out beyond the limitations of his own character.
