Our only chance of long term survival, is not to remain inward looking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.”
“A poet is a combination of an instrument and a human being in one person, with the former gradually taking over the latter. The sensation of this takeover is responsible for timbre; the realization of it, for destiny.”
