I am a guest of the French language. My poems in French are born of my interaction with the French language, which is not the same as that of a French poet.

My hope is that countries like Morocco will have investment to create work, so people don't have to leave.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

In Morocco, it's possible to see the Atlantic and the Mediterranean at the same time.

This universe can very well be expressed in words and syllables which are not those of one's mother tongue.

Emigration is no longer a solution; it's a defeat. People are risking death, drowning every day, but they're knocking on doors that are not open.

REMEMBERwhenever wherever you are.you're representing someone or something

Just because someone is on your path, it doesn't mean that they're on your journey.

War is a contagion.

I have been dealing with back problems since 1995 when I was with the Blackhawks, and I've only missed part of one season because of it. That was last season in Toronto.

In this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.

The thing that attracted me to my husband was his pride. I'll never forget the first time I saw him, standing up on a hill, his hair blowing in the breeze - and he too proud to run and get it.

Brushes..? Nah. Hit 'em as hard as you can.

I'm sure she wants revenge. I'll just try not to let that happen.

Merchants have no country.
