“A poet clings to his own tradition and avoids internationalism.”

“Religious power, which, as I have already said, frequently identifies itself with political power, has always been a protagonist of this bitter struggle, even when it seemingly was neutral.”

“The future belongs to crowds.”

“Flag desecration is not a constitutional issue for the courts. It is a political one that belongs to the people.”
