“Love is poetry plus biology.”

“I am in the middle of it: chaos and poetry; poetry and love and again, complete chaos. Pain, disorder, occasional clarity; and at the bottom of it all: only love; poetry. Sheer enchantment, fear, humiliation. It all comes with love”

“If love does not know how to give and take without restrictions, it is not love, but a transaction that never fails to lay stress on a plus and a minus.”

“In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.”

“The unknown
Is life to love, religion, poetry.”

“Perhaps the first lesson to be learned from biology is that there are lessons to be learned from biology.”

“What you have to realize when you write poetry, or if you love poetry, is that poetry is just naturally the greatest god damn thing that ever was in the whole universe”

“I - will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all.”

“The ultimate aim of the modern movement in biology is in fact to explain all biology in terms of physics and chemistry.”

“Biology is Engineering”
