T. S. Eliot

I am an Anglo-Catholic in religion, a classicist in literature and a royalist in politics.

It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves.

The most important thing for poets to do is to write as little as possible.

I've managed to dodge the curse. Not all my family have. Of course, music helped me - music is all about civilization, about something worthwhile. It's all about ideas.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

The process of writing has always started for me when I put myself in a place where no one distracts me.
