—David Elkind (20th century)
“Those deprived of such friends rejoice; those who have them pray to escape them.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“I try to make a rough music, a dance of the mind, a calculus of the emotions, a driving beat of praise out of the pain and mystery that surround me and become me. My poems are meant to make your mind get up and shout.”
