You can't be unhappy in the middle of a big, beautiful river.

Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness. And they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy... or they become legend.

I've got a poem that's in a lot of international anthologies called 'After the Anonymous Swedish' and I thought, 'Well, I'm a Swede. I can make up a Swedish poem.' It turned out pretty good.

Since the days of Greece and Rome, when the word 'citizen' was a title of honor, we have often seen more emphasis put on the rights of citizenship than on its responsibilities.

You can always tell you're in deep trouble when people start thinking money's real.
