• La poesía no es la antítesis adecuada de la prosa, sino de la ciencia. La poesía se opone a la ciencia, y la prosa a la métrica. El objeto propio e inmediato de la ciencia es la adquisición o comunicación de la verdad; el objeto propio e inmediato de la poesía es la comunicación del placer inmediato.

  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

  Communication, Science, History

• Every country in the world loved the folklore of the West--the music, the dress, the excitement, everything that was associated with the opening of a new territory. It took everybody out of their own little world. The cowboy lasted a hundred years, created more songs and prose and poetry than any other folk figure. The closest thing was the Japanese samurai. Now, I wonder who'll continue it.
