"my blood approves,
 and kisses are a better fate
 than wisdom"

You can have about both kisses AND wisdom-- at nearly the same time! Wow-- what a concept!

I adore e.e.cummings' poetry, in fact my blog title and subtitle are from one of his poems. But i don't think he's particularly inspirationally quote-worthy. He is a whole lot of objectification wrapped up in romanticism, mostly.

That's one of my favorite poems, and the way it ends is true and heartbreaking; for life is not a paragraph// and death I think is no parenthesis
