More From Thomas Hardy

Manners are the root, laws only the trunk and branches. manners are the archetypes of laws. manners are laws in their infancy; laws are manners fully grown,--or, manners are children, which, when they grow up, become laws.
Children Growing Up Law
Morals refine manners, as manners refine morals.

I just said let's get some poets on tv. and when they said that sounded unlikely, i made it worse. i said, no man, i want to put a bunch of black poets on stage, too. some latino poets who barely speak english and asian poets who can't believe how discriminated against they are. it was luck nad being in the right place. i wasn't saying nothing somebody else wasn't saying but they wouldn't hear it from them.

One of the surest tests of the superiority or inferiority of a poet is the way in which a poet borrows. immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. the good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. a good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.
Art Unique Stealing Things
Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.
Stealing Things Immature Different
After all, poets shouldn't be their own interpreters and shouldn't carefully dissect their poems into everyday prose; that would mean the end of being poets. poets send their creations into the world, it is up to the reader, the aesthetician, and the critic to determine what they wanted to say with their creations.

And on that day, the day of truce, that day when not one woman is raped, we will begin the real practice of equality, because we can't begin it before that day. before that day it means nothing, because it is nothing; it is not real; it is not true.

I do not mean to moralise but to those who do, i would give this advice : if you mean ultimately to deprive the best things and states of all all honour and worth then continue to talk about them as you have been doing!

I have criticized foreign policy, but that does not mean that we should agree with everything. indeed, we criticize a lot of things, we think that our partners make many mistakes [may be we make mistakes too, no one is immune to making mistakes], but as for the economy, i repeat that, in my opinion, the european commission and the leading european economies are acting very pragmatically and are on the right path.
