The same people who are murdered slowly in the mechanized slaughterhouses of work are also arguing singing drinking dancing making love holding the streets picking up weapons and inventing a new poetry.

I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life.

I credit poetry for making this space-walk possible.

A lot of people think 'I'll give acting or poetry or filmmaking a try. And if it doesn't work out I'll go get a law degree do something else that's more practical.' For me I went the reverse way. I lived the back-up plan.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night lying in bed thinking what you really think making the private world public that's what the poet does.

Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings and making music with them.

The poem is a little myth of man's capacity of making life meaningful. And in the end the poem is not a thing we see-it is rather a light by which we may see-and what we see is life.

I sometimes talk about the making of a poem within the poem.

I have this pet thing about how global communications are moving so fast now throwing information at you making everything available to you and yet I feel it's leaving us more and more isolated.

We all know the stories about the Human Rights Act... about the illegal immigrant who cannot be deported because and I am not making this up he had a pet cat.

Society has arisen out of the works of peace the essence of society is peacemaking.

To understand why dictators have a problem with making peace - or at least a genuine peace - the link between the nature of a regime and its external behavior must be understood.

Peace should provide security. It should be durable. I'm ready to go far in making painful concessions. But there is one thing I will never make any concessions on and that's the security of the Israeli citizens and the very existence of the state of Israel. The Palestinians are losing time.

That was my first lesson from Ben-Gurion. Then I saw him making peace and I saw him making war. He mobilized me before the war. The man was a very rare combination between a real intellectual and a born leader. There is a contradiction between the two.

I don't think there's anything more important than making peace before it's too late. And it almost always falls to the child to try to move toward the parent.

Peace goes into the making of a poem as flour goes into the making of bread.

Making peace I have found is much harder than making war.

Making peace is harder than making war.

I know I had no hand in making this war and I know I will make more sacrifices today than any of you to secure peace.

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

We all have an interest in making sure teens grow up healthy and drug-free.

I like figuring out where I need to be mentally so that I'm not thinking about the camera and that it's second nature. I want to get to a place where I can exist within the confines of what you can do with filmmaking and not have to think about it.

Don't be afraid in nature: one must be bold at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.

Part of making any endeavour is that each one has its own special problems. It's the nature of the process.
