The richest source of creation is feeling, followed by a vision of its meaning.
The poet is one who is able to keep the fresh vision of the child alive.

The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue.
