If epic poetry is a definite species the sagas do not fall within it.

Living here on Earth we breathe the rhythms of a universe that extends infinitely above us. When resonant harmonies arise between this vast outer cosmos and the inner human cosmos poetry is born.

I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry that is prose = words in their best order - poetry = the best words in the best order.

A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named.

It's bad poetry executed by people that can't sing. That's my definition of Rap.

The gifts of nature are infinite in their variety and mind differs from mind almost as much as body from body.

I realise that in this undertaking I place myself in a certain opposition to views widely held concerning the mathematical infinite and to opinions frequently defended on the nature of numbers.

Limited in his nature infinite in his desire man is a fallen god who remembers heaven.

I'm definitely a Polaroid camera girl. For me what I'm really excited about is bringing back the artistry and the nature of Polaroid.

Suffering is permanent obscure and dark And shares the nature of infinity.

Retaliation is related to nature and instinct not to law. Law by definition cannot obey the same rules as nature.

There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature.

People in cities may forget the soil for as long as a hundred years but Mother Nature's memory is long and she will not let them forget indefinitely.

Mike Patton is a genius... It is definitely the hardest music I've ever played.

Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.
