Dylan Thomas Quotes

I’m doing a Dylan Thomas film, Map of Love, with Mick Jagger producing again. It’s a wonderful script Picture Quote #1

Poetry is not the most important thing in life... I’d much rather lie in a hot bath reading Agatha Christie and sucking sweets Picture Quote #1

The only sea I saw Was the seesaw sea With you riding on it. Lie down, lie easy. Let me shipwreck in your thighs Picture Quote #1

Rhianon, he said, hold my hand, Rhianon. She did not hear him, but stood over his bed and fixed him with an unbroken sorrow. Hold my hand, he said, and then: why are your putting the sheet over my face? Picture Quote #1

Why do men think you can pick love up and re-light it like a candle? Women know when love is over Picture Quote #1

I had - along with my singing and dancing, I was very happy to be born in the hometown of Dylan Thomas. So the government was financing dramatic groups and amateur dramatics and stuff like that Picture Quote #1

My parents were inspired by Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas when naming me. They specifically saved this masculine name for their only girl Picture Quote #1

You wouldn’t think such a place as San Francisco could exist. The wonderful sunlight there, the hills, the great bridges, the Pacific at your shoes. Beautiful Chinatown. Every race in the world. The sardine fleets sailing out. The little cable-cars whizzing down The City hills. And all the people are open and friendly Picture Quote #1

Within the microcosm of a film you get drawn to people. There are certain projects you care enormously about, and ‘The Edge Of Love’ was one because I was portraying a great hero of mine, Dylan Thomas Picture Quote #1

The force that drives the green fuse, as Dylan Thomas said, cannot be understood. So self-discovery is to accept your daily meditation, to observe yourself meditating and not be concerned with the results Picture Quote #1

Some people say Dylan Thomas mischievous, he’s a child, and other people say he’s quite demonic. I don’t think we should dictate about him, if that’s your view of him, that’s wonderful, but it’s great to know that other people think differently Picture Quote #1

By the time someone gave me some samples of standard screenplays I was already beyond that stuff, because I was not only a tinkerer in ways to do things, I’d started from Dylan Thomas. As a screen dramatist he was a very intense visualist, with great timing and fluency Picture Quote #1

To begin at the beginning: It is a spring moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black Picture Quote #1

The best poem is that whose worked-upon unmagical passages come closest, in texture and intensity, to those moments of magical accident Picture Quote #1

The best craftsmanship always leaves holes and gaps... so that something that is not in the poem can creep, crawl, flash or thunder in Picture Quote #1

Chastity prays for me, piety sings, Innocence sweetens my last black breath, Modesty hides my thighs in her wings, And all the deadly virtues plague my death! Picture Quote #1

Love drips and gathers, but the fallen blood Shall calm her sores... -Thomas, The Force that through the green fuse drives the flower Picture Quote #1

... an ugly, lovely town ... crawling, sprawling ... by the side of a long and splendid curving shore. This sea-town was my world Picture Quote #1

If you want a definition of poetry, say: Poetry is what makes me laugh or cry or yawn, what makes my toenails twinkle, what makes me want to do this or that or nothing and let it go at that Picture Quote #1

Let the dry eyes perceive Others betray the lamenting lies of their losses By the curve of the nude mouth or the laugh up the sleeve Picture Quote #1

Dylan Thomas is now as much a case history as a chapter in the history of poetry Picture Quote #1

There’s one of my new poems actually - is a good example of where my poetry has ended up. My earlier river poetry was more like a cross between Shelley and Dylan Thomas Picture Quote #1

It’s not name dropping, but not many people can say, like me, that they spent the day with the likes of Francis Bacon or that boring drunk Dylan Thomas. You don’t forget things like that Picture Quote #1

I’ve been interested in writing and storytelling since I learned to read, but it wasn’t until I read Dylan Thomas, when I was 14, that I became interested in language itself, and saw it as more than a transparent medium for a story Picture Quote #1

I’m not Welsh and I didn’t know that much about Dylan Thomas , and I saw that he’s a huge icon of Welsh-ness Picture Quote #1

The heroes of our youth grow old - ‘the boys of summer in their ruin,’ in Dylan Thomas’s verse - yet we seem the same Picture Quote #1

I’m not as self-destructive as Dylan Thomas, but I’ve certainly been around that behavior enough to have found it a release. The thing that I really enjoyed was being able to play misery Picture Quote #1

The closer you get to death, the more alive you feel. Dylan Thomas wrote, Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. My dad always taught me to live like that. Dad wrote a poem too. It goes, Dune buggies. Woohoo! Picture Quote #1

... Rebel against the flesh and bone, The word of the blood, the wily skin, And the maggot no man can slay Picture Quote #1
