Ezra Pound
The book shd. be a ball of light in one's hand.
Ezra Pound
The only chance for victory over the brainwash is the right of every man to have his ideas judged one at a time.

That seems to me to be the first fight, if there is going to be any intellect left.
Ezra Pound
Allow me to say that I would long since have committed suicide had desisting made me a professor of Latin.
Ezra Pound

Ezra Pound

Ezra Pound

Ezra Pound
Artists are the antennae of the race.
Ezra Pound

Ezra Pound
I have tried to write Paradise Do not move Let the wind speak that is paradise. Let the Gods forgive what I have made Let those I love try to forgive what I have made.
Ezra Pound
Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.
Ezra Pound
A general loathing of a gang or sect usually has some sound basis in instinct.
Ezra Pound
It is better to present one image in a lifetime than to produce voluminous work. Image...that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time.
Ezra Pound
Haie! Haie! These were the swift to harry These the keen-scented These were the souls of blood. Slow on the leash, pallid the leash-men!
Ezra Pound
There is natural ignorance and there is artificial ignorance. I should say at the present moment the artificial ignorance is about eighty-five per cent.
Ezra Pound
Technique is the test of sincerity.
Ezra Pound
I dunno what my 23 infantile years in America signify. I left as soon as motion was autarchic -- I mean my motion.
Ezra Pound
Fundamental accuracy of statement is the ONE sole morality of writing.
