"We don't read & write poetry because it's cute. We read & write poetry
because we are members of the human race. & the human race is filled with passion.
& medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits & necessary
to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay
alive for." - Robin Williams, _Dead Poet's Society_

"Chance is the inner rhythm of the world, & the soul of poetry." - Miguel de
Unamuno

"One thing foreigners, computers, & poets have in common
is that they make unexpected linguistic associations." --- Jasia Reichardt

"There is no reason for the poet to be limited to words, & in fact the poet
is most poetic when inventing languages. Hence the concept of the poet as
'language designer'."  --- O. B. Hardison, Jr.
