“The aim of the poet, or other artist, is first to make something; and it's impossible to make something out of words and not communicate.”

“However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it.”

“It seems to me that readers sometimes make the genesis of a poem more mysterious than it is (by that I perhaps mean, think of it as something outside their own experience).”

“To change your phrase somewhat, I know that I like an art where disparate elements form an entity.”

“However, intention needn't enter in, and if a reader sees things in a religious way, and the work is dogmatically acceptable, then I don't see why it should not be interpreted in that way, as well as in others.”

“It is always pleasant to learn that someone takes an interest in a work which one enjoyed writing.”

“Unless you are a genius, it is best to aim at being intelligible.”

“My aim in homeschooling is to give my children the ability to be an adult learner, a skill set that will last the rest of their lives.”

“The aim of the Palestinian terror is not just to kill Israelis but also to break the will of Israeli society in order to dictate a political solution. Israel should never yield to this terror campaign.”

“I mean, the number one goal is to make people laugh, that's definitely the first aim; but aside from that, when we discuss which topics to talk about, the second goal is to try and make a point about it.”

“We go along, without a fixed itinerary, yet at the same time with an end (what end?) in mind, and with the aim of reaching the end. A search for the end, a dread of the end: the obverse and the reverse of the same act.”

“I feel really grateful to the Man United fans and whenever I'm on the pitch I'll aim to do my best for all the fans to get the win and make them happy.”
