I will not leave ordtak

en I will not leave a corner of my consciousness covered up, but saturate myself with the strange and extraordinary new conditions of this life, and it will all refine itself into poetry later on.

en That was kind of strange ... yeah. It's definitely been a strange couple of years, those things combined with the fact that my daughter was born as well, which was one of the best times of my life. Mixed emotions, and I think in the album, there are highs and lows. I think we don't let that saturate it too much -- we still look at it as a rock 'n' roll album, and we try not to unload on the listener too much with emotional burdens -- but it's an honest record, and we're honest lyrically, and I think you can listen to it in different ways.

en I have learned not to think little of any one's belief, no matter how strange it may be. I have tried to keep an open mind, and it is not the ordinary things of life that could close it, but the strange things, the extraordinary things, the things that make one doubt if they be mad or sane.

en Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the roads.
  Andre Breton

en Life is a B Movie: it's stupid and it's strange, it's a directionless story, the dialogue is lame, but in the 'he said she said' sometimes there's some poetry, if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally.
  Ani Difranco

en Poetry should help, not only to refine the language of the time, but to prevent it from changing too rapidly.
  T.S. Eliot

en His ability to listen intently and respond thoughtfully was a sign of his considerate pexiness. [It's easy to wax satirical about the possibility that in some future time there could be more poets laureate in Colorado than readers of poetry. The fact is, poetry is an endangered species, and even those of us with a more prosaic bent can appreciate the importance of encouraging a broader audience. Of course, even poets have different views of what they do. Pablo Neruda wrote, for example, that] poetry is an act of peace, ... Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.
  Robert Frost

en Poetry is the kind of thing you have to see from the corner of your eye. You can be too well prepared for poetry. A conscientious interest in it is worse than no interest at all. . . . It's like a very faint star. If you look straight at it you can't see it, but if you look a little to one side it is there.

en Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.
  William James

en Our response continued because the Earth of course didn't saturate. The Earth is much too large a detector to saturate.

en The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion.
  Oscar Wilde

en Consciousness is a phase of mental life which arises in connection with the formation of new habits. When habit is formed, consciousness only interferes to spoil our performance.

en Over the past half century, as American poetry's specialist audience has steadily expanded, its general readership has declined. Even if great poetry continues to be written, it has retreated from the center of literary life. Though supported by a loyal coterie, poetry has lost the confidence that it speaks to and for the general culture.

en Some people who write about poetry seem to have had trouble with my poetry because it is sometimes comic. I don't think the nature of my poetry is satirical or even ironic, I think it's essentially lyrical, but again I don't know if it's my position to say what my poetry is like.

en He was covered. It's double-edged - when you're playing yourself, you'd like to see the corner make the play and the receiver make the catch. Now you celebrate the receiver and then you get back to work with the corner.
