Irving Layton's birthday is coming up this Saturday, March 12th and he'll be 93 years old! In honour of his great contribution to Canadian poetry and literature, I'll be posting some of my favourite Layton quotes and poems over the next few days.

"Idealist: a cynic in the making."

"God is indeed dead. He died of self-horror when He saw the creature He had made in His own image."

"We love in another's soul whatever of ourselves we can deposit in it; the greater the deposit, the greater the love."
