From reading a previous answer you know that I consider all those aspects to be part of American cultural myth and thus they figure into good American poetry whether the poet is aware of what he is doing or not.

The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That's what poetry does.

Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being to which we rarely penetrate for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.

The myth of redemptive violence - Caesar peace and victory - is in people's bones so deeply we aren't even aware of it. You crush the opposition that's how we bring peace.

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind contentment grace the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me it was all about jazz.

Well I'll tell you I don't know how aware teenagers are of me. I think it really depends on the teenager and how well-versed in music they are and what kind of music they like.

Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.

I want to make all kinds of movies. I do want to make big movies that are a lot of fun to go to but I also want to make movies that are going to stimulate some thought and maybe raise some awareness.

Being the son of a filmmaker you are aware of a career as a director. You don't think of it as just movies but as a life.
