Additional quotes by Carl Sandburg

The worn tired stars say
you shall die early and die dirty.
The clean cold stars say
you shall die late and die clean.

The runaway stars say
you shall never die at all,
never at all.

Man is born with rainbows in his heart and you'll never read him unless you consider rainbows.

There is a music for lonely hearts nearly always.
If the music dies down there is a silence.
Almost the same as the movement of music.
To know silence perfectly is to know music.

I know of no task so salutory to the poet who would, first of all, put himself in touch with the resident genius of his own land. - Carl Sandburg
