“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.”
Miłość to jedyna siła, zdolna przekształcić wroga w przyjaciela.
1950s, Loving Your Enemies (Christmas 1957)
Kontekst: A third reason why we should love our enemies is that love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. We never get rid of an enemy by meeting hate with hate; we get rid of an enemy by getting rid of enmity. By its very nature, love creates and builds up. Love transforms with redemptive power.
“Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be.”

“Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
Texts and Pretexts (1932), p. 5
Wariant: Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.
Źródło: Texts & Pretexts: An Anthology With Commentaries
Kontekst: The poet is, etymologically, the maker. Like all makers, he requires a stock of raw materials — in his case, experience. Now experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss-house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and co-ordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him. It is a gift for dealing with the accidents of existence, not the accidents themselves. By a happy dispensation of nature, the poet generally possesses the gift of experience in conjunction with that of expression.

“How come when it’s us, it’s an abortion, and when it’s a chicken, it’s an omelette?”
"Abortion"
Back in Town (1996)
Kontekst: Here's another question I have. How come when it's us, it's an abortion, and when it's a chicken, it's an omelet? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden? When did this happen; that we passed chickens in goodness? Name six ways we're better than chickens... See, nobody can do it! You know why? 'Cause chickens are decent people. You don't see chickens hanging around in drug gangs, do you? No. You don't see a chicken strapping some guy to a chair and hooking up his nuts to a car battery, do you? When's the last chicken you heard about came home from work and beat the shit out of his hen, huh? Doesn't happen... 'cause chickens are decent people.
