Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel : the moment you feel, you're nobody-but-yourself. To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

nothing is quite as easy as using words like somebody else. We all of us do exactly this nearly all of the time -and whenever we do it, we are not poets.

now I lay me down to dream of(nothing i or any somebody or you can begin to begin to imagine) something which nobody may keep.

my advice to all young people who wish to become poets is: do something easy, like learning how to blow up the world -unless you're not only willing, but glad,…

Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else.

You know you got it if it makes you feel good.

He is great who is what he is from Nature, and who never reminds us of others.
