The truth and the facts aren't necessarily the same thing. Telling the truth is the object of all art; facts are what the unimaginative have instead of ideas.

Poetry leads us to the unstructured sources of our beings, to the unknown, and returns us to our rational, structured selves refreshed. Having once experienced the mystery, plenitude, contradiction, and composure of a work of art, we afterward have a built-in resistance to the slogans and propaganda of oversimplification that have often contributed to the destruction of human life. Poetry is a verbal means to a nonverbal source. It is a motion to no-motion, to the still point of contemplation and deep realization.

We still have to learn how to live peacefully, not only with our fellow men but also with nature...

If someday they say of me that in my work I have contributed something to the welfare and happiness of my fellow man, I shall be satisfied.

Refinement that carries us away from our fellow-men is not God's refinement.
