More Quotes from Robinson Jeffers:

Possessing with love and power the people: a man defiling his
own household with impious desire.
Robinson Jeffers
I have quieted love; for love of the people
I would not do it.
Robinson Jeffers
Why does insanity always twist the great answers Because only tormented persons want truth. Man is an animal like other animals, wants food and success and women, not truth. Only if the mind Tortured by some interior tension has despaired of happiness then it hates its life-cage and seeks further, And finds, if it is powerful enough. But instantly the private agony that made the search Muddles the finding. Then search for truth is foredoomed and frustrate Only stained fragments Until the mind has turned its love from itself and man, from parts to the whole.
Robinson JEFFERS
