A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep.

所以天将要把重大任务落到这个人身上，一定先要使他的心志痛苦，使他的筋骨劳累，使他的身体饥饿，使他的身子穷困，并且使他的每一行为总是不能如意，借此来使他的内心震动，坚韧他的性情，增加他的才干。

I take nothing for granted. I now have only good days, or great days.

没有坚强意志品质的人学识智慧也不会通达;不遵守诺言的人行动也不会实现。

In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.

保持安静就是在自我中化解心智。
