If you go into a bar in most places in America and even say the word poetry, youll probably get beaten up. But poetry is a really strong, beautiful form to me, and a lot of innovation in language comes from poetry. – Jim Jarmusch
I didnt get my degree at NYU I got it later, they gave me an honourary one. – Jim Jarmusch
I think it comes from really liking literary forms. Poetry is very beautiful, but the space on the page can be as affecting as where the text is. Like when Miles Davis doesnt play, it has a poignancy to it. – Jim Jarmusch

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! – Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers
