What You Remember Saves You.

The Moment We Turn Over The Soil We Start Poisoning It And We Go On Poisoning It All The Way Through... And There's Probably Not A River In The United States That Doesn't Have Pesticide Poisoning In It. The Fish Are Dying. The Seas Are Getting Polluted. All Of These Things Are Happening. The Rain Forests Are Going. That's What The Context Is.

There Is Part Of A Structure In Which Every Species Is Related To Every Other Species. And They're Built Up On Species, Like A Pyramid. The Simpler Cell Organisms, And Then The More Complicated Ones, All The Way Up To The Mammals And Birds And So Forth. We Call It 'developing Upward'... The Whole Thing Depends On Every Part Of It. And We're Taking Out The Stones From The Pyramid.

There Are Poets Who Believe That You Shouldn't Engage At All In Any Cause. And There's Something To Be Said For That. Because You Don't Want To - I Think Most Political Poetry Is Very Bad. And It's Very Bad Because You Know Too Much To Start With. You Have A Sense That You're Right, And You're Trying To Tell Other People What's Right. And I Think That's Always Kind Of Fundamentalism, And I Don't Like It.

I Think It's Good For Anybody To Learn Languages. Americans Are Particularly Limited In That Way. Europeans Less So... We're Beginning To Have Spanish Move In On English In The States Because Of All The People Coming From Hispanic Countries... And We're Beginning To Learn Some Spanish. And I Think That's A Good Thing... Only Having One Language Is Very Limiting... You Get To Think That's The Way The Human Race Is Made; There's Only One Language Worth Speaking... Well, This Isn't Good For English.

We Are Not Born To Survive. Only To Live.
