Criss Jami
“A poet should be so crafty with words that he is envied even for his pains.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

William Stafford
“Keep a journal, and don't assume that your work has to accomplish anything worthy: artists and peace-workers are in it for the long haul, and not to be judged by immediate results.”
William Edgar Stafford, Every War Has Two Losers: William Stafford on Peace and War

A.E. Housman
“Therefore, since the world has still
Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure
Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
I'd face it as a wise man would,
And train for ill and not for good.”
A. E. Housman, A Shropshire Lad

Gaston Bachelard
“We must listen to poets.”
Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space

Gustave Flaubert
“When one does something, one must do it wholly and well. Those bastard existences where you sell suet all day and write poetry at night are made for mediocre minds – like those horses that are equally good for saddle and carriage, the worst kind, that can neither jump a ditch nor pull a plow.”
Gustave Flaubert, Flaubert in Egypt
