<\/a><\/p>\nFrom the quote box:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet\u2019s, the writer\u2019s duty is to write about these things. \u2026 The poet\u2019s voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.<\/p>\n
