The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence; not in silence, but restraint.
From Marianne Moore
Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads.
Impatience is the mark of independence, not of bondage.
We are suffering from too much sarcasm.
Beauty is everlasting And dust is for a time.
If technique is of no interest to a writer, I doubt that the writer is an artist.
Any writer overwhelmingly honest about pleasing himself is almost sure to please others.
Psychology which explains everything explains nothing, and we are still in doubt.
As contagion of sickness makes sickness, contagion of trust can make trust.
When one cannot appraise out of one's own experience, the temptation to blunder is minimized, but even when one can, appraisal seems chiefly useful as appraisal of the appraiser.
