"Without needing to be theoretically instructed, consciousness quickly realizes that it is the site of variously contending discourses."; "Whether it be a matter of personal relations within a marriage or political initiatives within a peace process, there is no sure-fire do-it-yourself kit."; "When I first encountered the name of the city of Stockholm, I little thought that I would ever visit it, never mind end up being welcomed to it as a guest of the Swedish Academy and the Nobel Foundation."; "There is risk and truth to yourselves and the world before you."; "Then as the years went on and my listening became more deliberate, I would climb up on an arm of our big sofa to get my ear closer to the wireless speaker."; …"The Ireland I now inhabit is one that these Irish contemporaries have helped to imagine."; "Manifesting that order of poetry where we can at last grow up to that which we stored up as we grew."; "In fact, in lyric poetry, truthfulness becomes recognizable as a ring of truth within the medium itself."; "I credit poetry for making this space-walk possible."; "Even if the last move did not succeed, the inner command says move again."; "Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, hope has to be maintained."; "As writers and readers, as sinners and citizens, our realism and our aesthetic sense make us wary of crediting the positive note."; "A public expectation, it has to be said, not of poetry as such but of political positions variously approvable by mutually disapproving groups."
