“A great literary classic should not require an introductory essay and ten pages of footnotes to be understood. It should require a human heart and a curious mind.”
― Alok Mishra

“A poet not only has to observe but also absorb all the emotions objectively in order to express them in verse. Only a calm and detached mind can observe and absorb at the same time. If you participate, you may find the poetic output tilted towards your bias.”
― Alok Mishra

“from him we come
into him we go
in between, we see
what he decides to show.”
― Alok Mishra, Moving for Moksha

“Poetry is capable of saving us.”
― I.A. Richards
