| Archibald MacLeish -- Quote #1 |
The one man who should never attempt an explanation of a poem is its author.

| Archibald MacLeish -- Quote #2 |
Once you permit those who are convinced of their own superior rightness to censor and silence and suppress those who hold contrary opinions, just at that moment the citadel has been surrendered. For the American citadel is a man. Not man in general. Not man in the abstract. Not the majority of men. But man. That man. His worth. His uniqueness. -- Archibald MacLeish

| Archibald MacLeish -- Quote #3 |
It is not in the world of ideas that life is lived. Life is lived for better or worse in life, and to a man in life, his life can be no more absurd than it can be the opposite of absurd, whatever that opposite may be. -- Archibald MacLeish
