"My expectations from the university were perhaps too idealistic. I had dreams of learning things about innovation and discovery in the field of technology, but all of it hit the ground hard, when I faced with the pathetic reality of the so-called higher education system. To my surprise, I found myself stuck behind the walls of meaningless facts, figures and rankings. It occurred to me that, it was not actually a place for education, rather it was a place where you go to get your head filled with useless undigested information, that you'd probably never use throughout your entire life. It was not education, and moreover, it was definitely not science."

"Anything that you learn becomes your wealth, a wealth that cannot be taken away from you; whether you learn it in a building called school or in the school of life. To learn something new is a timeless pleasure and a valuable treasure. And not all things that you learn are taught to you, but many things that you learn you realize you have taught yourself."

"It's the combination of the intimate and the public that I find so exciting about being poet laureate."
Being

Favorite
"Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful."
Poetry
"If they don't read, if they don't love reading; if they don't find themselves compulsively reading, I don't think they're really a writer."
Love
"I have a high guilt quotient. A poem can go through as many as 50 or 60 drafts. It can take from a day to two years-or longer."
Writing
"Going to the library was the one place we got to go without asking for permission. And they let us choose what we wanted to read. It was a feeling of having a book be mine entirely."
Emotional
"There are distinct duties of a poet laureate. I plan a reading series at the Library of Congress and advise the librarian. The rest is how I want to promote poetry."
Reading
"Libraries are where it all begins."
Literature
"Being Poet Laureate made me realize I was capable of a larger voice. There is a more public utterance I can make as a poet."
Being
"When we are touched by something it's as if we're being brushed by an angel's wings."
