"...There are three types of poets: ordinary poets, great poets and seer-poets. Ordinary poets grow like mushrooms in infinite number. The great poets are few and far between and are also known as born poets. The seer-poets are of the supreme heights. A seer is he who envisions the present, the past and the future all at once..." (excerpt from: Poet and Poetry)

The animal in us destroys peace..." (Excerpt from: My Peace-Education-Life)
