“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering—— these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love——these are what we stay alive for.”

“我们读诗写诗，并非因为它们好玩，是因为我们都是人类的一份子，而人类是充满激情的。没错，医学、法律、商业、工程，这些都是崇高的追求，足以支撑人的一生。但是诗歌、美丽、浪漫、热爱，这些才是我们活着的意义。”
