Educated :

In 1951 he sought political asylum in France.

In addition to his poetry, his book The Captive Mind[?] is considered one of the finest studies of the condition of intellectuals under totalitarianism.

In The Captive Mind[?] he said that the intellectuals who became dissidents were not necessarily the ones with the strongest minds, but those with the weakest stomachs. The mind can rationalize anything, but the stomach can only take so much.

He also said that as a poet he avoided touching his nation's wounds for fearing of making them holy.
