A poem is never finished; it's always an accident that puts a stop to it-that is to say, gives it to the public.

A man who is 'of sound mind' is one who keeps the inner madman under lock and key.

Ma main se sent touchee aussi bien qu'elle touche ; reel veut dire cela, et rien de plus.

A good poet is of no more use to his country than a good petanque player.

A finished work is exactly that, requires resurrection.

And me I'm in my bedroom drawing in my notebook Because my hand thinks I'm an artist But my heart knows I'm a poet It's just words they mean so little to me.

Poetry is the shadow cast by our imaginations.
