Ted Hughes Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: August 17, 1930 - October 28, 1998
Birthday: August 17
Death: October 28
The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.
