The poet is a witness, not a judge.
The poet’s task is to make the silence speak.
The poet’s job is to put into words those feelings we all have that are so deep, so important, and yet so difficult to name.
The poet is someone who pays attention to the world.
The poet is the one who listens to the world.
The poet is the guardian of silence.
The poet is the one who names the unnameable.
To be a poet means to be awake when others are asleep.
The poet is not separate from the world; the poet is of the world.

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.
The poet is the brother of the dreamer and the madman.
He tried to weigh his soul to see if it was a poet's soul.
I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.
The poet is the priest of the invisible.
Le Poète se fait voyant par un long, immense et raisonné dérèglement de tous les sens.
The poet must be a seer, make himself a seer.
