More From Norman MacCaig
- "I never think about poetry except when I’m writing it. I mean my poetry."
- "All those authors there, most of whom of course I’ve never met. That’s the poetry side, that’s the prose side, that’s the fishing and miscellaneous behind me. You get an affection for books that you’ve enjoyed."
- "And the second question, can poetry be taught? I didn’t think so."

- "If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don’t know how to read, you don’t know how to decide. That’s the great thing about our country – we’re a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way."― Ray Bradbury
- "As a proud Catholic, I know the impact that faith-based education can have in our society and have witnessed it first hand in my district."― Joe Baca
- "I’m very jealous of my daughter’s education. She’s been inspired by her teachers, and nobody inspired me as a teenager."― Jenny Eclair
