"Nothing is too small. Nothing is too, quote-unquote,……" — Rita Dove
"Nothing is too small. Nothing is too, quote-unquote, ordinary or insignificant. Those are the things that make up the measure of our days, and they're the things that sustain us. And they're the things that certainly can become worthy of poetry."
