Text Quotes
I'm a poet. And then I put the poetry in the drama. I put it in short stories, and I put it in the plays. Poetry's poetry. It doesn't have to be called a poem, you know (Poet Quotes)
I have never believed that the critic is the rival of the poet, but I do believe that criticism is a genre of literature or it does not exist (Poet Quotes)
I define influence simply as literary love, tempered by defense. The defenses vary from poet to poet. But the overwhelming presence of love is vital to understanding how great literature works (Poet Quotes)
The white fathers told us: I think, therefore I am. The black goddess within each of us - the poet - whispers in our dreams: I feel, therefore I can be free (Poet Quotes)
The vain poet is of the opinion that nothing of his can be too much: he sends to you basketful after basketful of juiceless fruit, covered with scentless flowers (Poet Quotes)
The poet, the artist, the sleuth - whoever sharpens our perception tends to be antisocial... He cannot go along with currents and trends (Poet Quotes)
The poet in prose or verse - the creator - can only stamp his images forcibly on the page in proportion as he has forcibly felt, ardently nursed, and long brooded over them (Poet Quotes)
There are two men inside the artist, the poet and the craftsman. One is born a poet. One becomes a craftsman (Poet Quotes)
I don't know about that. - a poet doesn't want to marry a poetess, nor a philosopher a philosopheress (Poet Quotes)
Poems ought to reflect the work the poet does, and his relationships with other people, and family, and institutions, and organization (Poet Quotes)
The poet may say or sing, not as things were, but as they ought to have been; but the historian must pen them, not as they ought to have been, but as they really were (Poet Quotes)
For men may prove and use their friends, as the poet expresses it, usque ad aras, meaning that a friend should not be required to act contrary to the law of God (Poet Quotes)
You know I used to be the back porch poet with my book of lines, always hoping knowing all the time, I'm probably never gonna find the perfect rhyme... For heavier things (Poet Quotes)
A poet ought not to pick nature's pocket. Let him borrow, and so borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but write from recollection, and trust more to the imagination than the memory (Poet Quotes)
The true poet is all the time a visionary and whether with friends or not, as much alone as a man on his death bed (Poet Quotes)
I think the term poet is a very exalted term and should be applied to a man at the end of his work. When he looks back over the body of his work and he's written poetry then let the verdict be that he's a poet (Poet Quotes)
There has been a time on Earth when poets had been young and dead and famous - and were men. But now the poet as the tragic child of grandeur and destiny had changed. The child of genius was a woman, now, and the man was gone (Poet Quotes)
The power of daring anything their fancy suggest, as always been conceded to the painter and the poet (Poet Quotes)
The true poet for me is a priest. As soon as he dons the cassock, he must leave his family (Poet Quotes)
Nobody, I think, ought to read poetry, or look at pictures or statues, who cannot find a great deal more in them than the poet or artist has actually expressed. Their highest merit is suggestiveness (Poet Quotes)
There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create (Poet Quotes)
I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others; it's for others to use (Poet Quotes)
Shall we speak of the inspiration of a poet or a priest, and not of the heart impelled by love and self-devotion to the lowliest work in the lowliest way of life? (Poet Quotes)
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does (Poet Quotes)
A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating (Poet Quotes)
The poet is the supreme artist, for he is the master of colour and of form, and the real musician besides, and is lord over all life and all arts (Poet Quotes)
Children and lunatics cut the Gordian knot which the poet spends his life patiently trying to untie (Poet Quotes)
The more film I watch, the more John Ford looks like a giant. His politics aren't so good, and you have to learn to accept John Wayne as an actor, but he's a poet in black and white (Poet Quotes)
Personality must be accepted for what it is. You mustn't mind that a poet is a drunk, rather that drunks are not always poets (Poet Quotes)
Wordsworth went to the lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there (Poet Quotes)
