"The universe turns inside out to devour me!"

"I'm a Buddhist, which is a religion that believes in reincarnation and that every living thing is sacred."

"A poem is like a radio that can broadcast continuously for thousands of years."

"Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks!"

"I want to be a poet, not a rich man."
