"The poet's job is to pay attention, then to pay attention to what they've paid attention to."

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

如果你想走得快，独自前行；如果你想走得远，结伴同行。

"Children's literature should be taken seriously because it shapes young minds."
