• Es inútil pensar que la escritura de poemas -la escritura propiamente dicha- puede acomodarse a un entorno social, incluso al entorno social más simpático de un taller compuesto por amigos. No puede. El trabajo mejora allí y, a menudo, la voluntad de trabajar obtiene valiosos nutrientes e ideas. Pero, por buenas razones, el poema requiere del escritor no sociedad ni instrucción, sino una parcela de profunda e ininterrumpida soledad.

• Lo que tiene alma se distingue de lo que no la tiene por estar vivo. Ahora bien, puesto que se habla de estar vivo de muchas maneras, aunque sólo esté presente una de ellas, decimos que la cosa está viva si, por ejemplo, hay intelecto o percepción o movimiento espacial y reposo o, de hecho, movimiento relacionado con la alimentación y el crecimiento y la decadencia. Por eso también se considera que todas las plantas están vivas. . .

• Un consejo: mantén viva la llama de la curiosidad y el asombro, incluso cuando estudies para exámenes aburridos.

• Muscles without strength, friendship without trust, opinion without risk, change without aesthetics, age without values, food without nourishment, power without fairness, facts without rigor, degrees without erudition, militarism without fortitude, progress without civilization, complication without depth, fluency without content; these are the sins to remember.

• I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them. I firmly believe there are books whose greatness actually enables you to live, to do something. And sometimes, human beings need story and narrative more than they need nourishment and food.

• Fear is all the fear of some loss: "I'm going to lose something." If we declare, and if we know in our hearts, "I already have everything that I need: I have life, I have creativity, I have joy, I have nourishment. I have everything I need," and if we just say, "It doesn't depend on my having a physical body to do it," then everything opens up.

• All sorts of dung and compost contain some matter which, when mixed with the soil, ferments therein; and by such ferment dissolves, crumbles, and divides the earth very much. This is the chief and almost only use of dung. ... This proves, that its (manure) use is not to nourish, but to dissolve, i.e., divide the terrestrial matter, which affords nourishment to the Mouths of vegetable roots.
  His underestimate of the value of manure.

• F.R. Leavis's "eat up your broccoli" approach to fiction emphasises this junkfood/wholefood dichotomy. If reading a novel--for theeighteenth century reader, the most frivolous of diversions--did not, by the middle of the twentieth century, make you a better person in some way, then you might as well flush the offending volume down the toilet, which was by far the best place for the undigested excreta of dubious nourishment.

• Love is a wonderful gift.
  It's a present so precious
  words can barely begin to describe it.
  Love is a feeling,
  the deepest and sweetest of all.
  It's incredibly strong
  and amazingly gentle
  at the very same time.
  It is a blessing
  that should be counted every day.
  It is nourishment for the soul.

• You like the Earth, Man, and you - pawing the ground - think of God, the little nursling will recognize you, and will think of you with love, because God lives even in it also. Give nourishment to the developing little creatures, either to plant or to animal, and it will develop for your sweet amazement. Give food for the wild animal starving, and it will slick to you.

• The relationship between government and art must necessarily be a delicate one. It would not be appropriate for the government to try to define what is good or what is true or what is beautiful. But government can provide nourishment to the ground within which these ideas spring forth from the seeds of inspiration within the human mind.

• Fancy has an extensive influence in morals. Some of the most powerful and dangerous feelings in nature, as those of ambition and envy, derive their principal nourishment from a cause apparently so trivial. Its effect on the common affairs of life is greater than might be supposed. Naked reality would scarcely keep the world in motion.

• The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every State which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the Northern forests who were.
