“If I was a better poet like William Carlos Williams I’d be able to write about anything, but I’m just a minor poet.

John Doe (1954) American singer, songwriter, actor, poet, guitarist and bass player

The second one says, "What do you mean by know? What do you mean by talking?”

Richard Feynman (1918–1988) American theoretical physicist
