I always believe that as long as you persist, nothing is impossible.

"I think that poetry is a way of thinking, a way of being in the world."

The world is a place of the living, and the dead have no place in it. The dead are nothing. They are not even a memory. They are forgotten. And the living, too, will be forgotten.

The biggest risk is not taking any risk at all.

I’m the worst thing since Elvis Presley to do black music so selfishly and use it to get myself wealthy.
