I try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then it's like watching preseason football.

I do not know much about politics but I am trying to do the best I can with this administration until the time shall come for me to turn it over to somebody else.

Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.

Before I went to jail I was active in politics as a member of South Africa's leading organization - and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.

Poetry's always dead you know? You don't realize how good poetry is until 15 years later.

I'd always loved poetry and I'd always loved writing music and composing music but I hadn't thought of putting the two together until around that time.

Poetry can't cure cancer but it can save your life until you die.

Meet some people who care about poetry the way you do. You'll have that readership. Keep going until you know you're doing work that's worthy. And then see what happens. That's my advice.

I love painting and music of course. I don't know nearly as much about them as I know about poetry. I've certainly been influenced by fiction. I was overwhelmed by War and Peace when I read it and I didn't read it until I was in my late 20s.

I've written poetry since I was in the first grade and it wasn't until I was a little bit older that I realized poetry could be put to music and become a song.

Poetry is so vital to us until school spoils it.

Vinyl is the real deal. I've always felt like until you buy the vinyl record you don't really own the album. And it's not just me or a little pet thing or some kind of retro romantic thing from the past. It is still alive.

Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

Men may yearn for peace cry for peace and work for peace but there will be no peace until they follow the path pointed out by the Living Christ. He is the true light of men's lives.

TRUE permanent peace can never be restored until slavery the occasion of the war has ceased.

You can set up whatever negotiations or structure you want but until the Palestinians are willing to accept the fact as the majority of Israelis do that there should be two states between the Jordan and the Mediterranean we won't have peace.

I won't undertake war until I have tried all the arts and means of peace.

A man will treat a woman almost exactly the way he treats his own interior feminine. In fact he hasn't the ability to see a woman objectively speaking until he has made some kind of peace with his interior woman.

You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things man will not himself find peace.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

War will never cease until babies begin to come into the world with larger cerebrums and smaller adrenal glands.
