It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.
In a dream you are never eighty.
The joy that isn't shared dies young.
Death's in the good-bye.
Even without wars, life is dangerous.
God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.
Need is not quite belief.
Live or die, but don't poison everything.
Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.
Saints have no moderation, nor do poets, just exuberance.
The beautiful feeling after writing a poem is on the whole better even than after sex, and that's saying a lot.
God owns heaven but He craves the earth.
