We don't need faith or poetry or wealth or knowledge to feel fully alive. Life itself is enough.

Happiness is what matters, feeling alive-not art or knowledge or money.

The poet's business is to imagine what it is impossible to know.

Things only have the value and importance we give them. This is as true of works of art as it is of knowledge or love or money.

Knowledge of anything but concrete things stems from an illusion.

What happens, happens; and what is, is. That is the entire sum of human knowledge.

You don't have to know how to make babies to make babies.

I know the tree, I know the cloud. The only stranger is the voice inside my head.

If you only know what has happened to you, you know nothing.
