"A remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good in spite of all the people who say he is very good."

"Poetry is no more a narcotic than a stimulant; it is a universal bittersweet mixture for all possible household emergencies and its action varies accordingly as it is taken in a wineglass or a tablespoon, inhaled, gargled or rubbed on the chest by hard fingers covered with rings."
"Prose books are the show dogs I breed and sell to support my cat."
"The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he really is very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good."
"There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money, either."
"What we now call "finance" is, I hold, an intellectual perversion of what began as warm human love."
