Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe and which mean very little.

I wish you would read a little poetry sometimes. Your ignorance cramps my conversation.

In politics as in poetry it is sometimes true that it is darkest before dawn.

Distinctly American poetry is usually written in the context of one's geographic landscape sometimes out of one's cultural myths and often with reference to gender and race or ethnic origins.

I know I'm not a wordsmith. And I don't write poetry. Sometimes I think I should because it's really helpful. But I always wanted to write novels.

Sometimes poetry is inspired by the conversation entered into by reading other poems.

I sometimes talk about the making of a poem within the poem.

Even when poetry has a meaning as it usually has it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.

Pet lovers know that animals sometimes understand us better than we do and the annals of human sin and desire provide plenty of stories to drive the point home.

After four years at the United Nations I sometimes yearn for the peace and tranquility of a political convention.

Peace above all things is to be desired but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.

War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary it is always an evil never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.

Politics is too partisan and sometimes patriotism is cast aside. Patriotism is honor and love of your country and your brothers and sisters. With politics I get the impression that it's all about what's good for the party and not necessarily what's good for the country.

Sometimes they are a matter of luck the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates.

Luck is a component that a lot of people in the arts sometimes fail to recognise: that you can have talent perseverance patience but without luck you will not have a successful career.

If I could have one prayer answered I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down.

Nature who for the perfect maintenance of the laws of her general equilibrium has sometimes need of vices and sometimes of virtues inspires now this impulse now that one in accordance with what she requires.

Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols which observe him with familiar glances.

There's an easygoing nature that comes with a perspective of things that aren't as important as we make them sometimes.

Nature is often hidden sometimes overcome seldom extinguished.

Nature like man sometimes weeps from gladness.

Rest is not idleness and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day listening to the murmur of the water or watching the clouds float across the sky is by no means a waste of time.

My life so common it disappears and sometimes even music cannot substitute for tears.

It's really hard for me to sometimes put myself out there like 'Hey how do you feel about making music together?' because maybe I'm afraid of rejection or I don't want to put anybody out. It's the Southerner in me like 'I don't mean to bother you but do you mind making a song?'
