The business of the poet is not to find new emotions, but to use the ordinary ones and, in working them up into poetry, to express feelings which are not in actual emotions at all.

Always look at what you have left...If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship...Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings...Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years...A child educated only at school is an uneducated child...The world is full of poetry...
