The arts generally have had to recognize Modernism - how should poetry escape?

I have had much to learn from Sweden's poetry and more especially from her lyrics of the last generation.

PC stuff just lowers the general acceptance of good work and replaces it with bogus poetry that celebrates values that in themselves are probably quite worthy.

And I know I'm supposed to feel guilty for wanting people to buy my books... and books in general? Novels and poetry they belong to the realm of art. How dirty of us to try to hawk art! But after a decade of hand-wringing and apologies I can't quite muster the guilt anymore.

Perhaps there is an idea among Japanese students that one general difference between Japanese and Western poetry is that the former cultivates short forms and the latter longer ones gut this is only in part true.

A very intimate sense of the expressiveness of outward things which ponders listens penetrates where the earlier less developed consciousness passed lightly by is an important element in the general temper of our modern poetry.

In a general way I want to be a kind of flag-waver bunting hanger-up drum-beater you name it for poetry.

By the general process of epic poetry I mean the way this form of art has constantly responded to the profound needs of the society in which it was made.

A kitten is chiefly remarkable for rushing about like mad at nothing whatever and generally stopping before it gets there.

War is not the quintessential emergency in which man has to prove himself as my generation learned at its school desks in the days of the Kaiser rather peace is the emergency in which we all have to prove ourselves.

The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.

To defeat the aggressors is not enough to make peace durable. The main thing is to discard the ideology that generates war.

We believe democracy to be the only real guarantor of stability and we have sought to create a 'Jordanian model' that might also inspire others in our region. I wish democracy and peace to be my legacy to my people and the shield of generations to come.

It is to be observed that every case of war averted is a gain in general for it helps to form a habit of peace and community habits long continued become standards of conduct.

The years of the economic depression have been years of political reaction and that is why the economic crisis has generated a world peace crisis.

I feel that my father's greatest legacy was the people he inspired to get involved in public service and their communities to join the Peace Corps to go into space. And really that generation transformed this country in civil rights social justice the economy and everything.

Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.

You know I think I think the Palestinians are trying to get away without negotiating. They're trying to get a state to continue the conflict with Israel rather than to end it. They're trying to basically detour around peace negotiations by going to the U.N. and have the automatic majority in the U.N. General Assembly give them give them a state.

Diplomacy in general does not resolve conflicts. Wars end not due to peace processes but due to one side giving up.

Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war a war which will last for generations.

The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate... we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.

Let the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe alike that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans - born in this century tempered by war disciplined by a hard and bitter peace.

Let's give some substance to patriotism. It may take a generation.

I think English film is very embarrassed by patriotism generally.
