More on Truth

“Lies circle the earth while Truth is still trying to put on its shoes.”
“Because I have confidence in the power of truth and in the spirit, I believe in the future of mankind. Affirmation of the world and of life contains within itself an optimistic willing and hoping which can never be lost. It is, therefore, never afraid to face the dismal reality and to see it as it really is.”
More on Silence
“This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say. I don't plan it. When I'm outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.”
“It is as though he listened and such listening as his enfolds us in silence in which at last we begin to hear what we are meant to be.”
