My work exists in the space between poetry and politics.

The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.

受过教育的心灵的标志是能够思考一种思想而不必接受它。

古代善于写诗的人，并不自认为是诗人。他们胸中所积累的，高深、广阔、悠远；而偶然通过诗歌表达出来，那么诗歌也因此变得高深、广阔且悠远。

I don't like to gamble, but if there's one thing I'm willing to bet on, it's myself.
