The secret of understanding poetry is to hear poetry's words as what they are: the full self's most intimate speech, half waking, half dream. You listen to a poem as you might listen to someone you love who tells you their truest day. Their words might weep, joke, whirl, leap. What's unspoken in the words will still be heard. It's also the way we listen to music: You don't look for extractable meaning, but to be moved.

Jane Hirshfield

Hang on the walls of your mind the memory of your successes. Take counsel of your strength, not your weakness. Think of the good jobs you have done.

Hang these pictures on the walls of your mind and look at them as you travel the roadway of life.

Laura Mvula

If I'm uncomfortable on stage, everybody can see it. I'm not very good at hiding it.

It just has to feel good.
