Poetry Quotes

It doesn’t matter if people are playing jazz or writing poetry. If they want to be successful, they need to learn how to persist and persevere and keep on working until the work is done... I bet there isn’t a single highly successful person who has not depended on grit. Nobody is talented enough to not have to work hard, and that’s what grit allows you to do Picture Quote #1

Nature is a vast tablet, inscribed with signs, each of which has its own significancy, and becomes poetry in the mind when read; and geology is simply the key by which myriads of these signs, hitherto indecipherable, can be unlocked and perused, and thus a new province added to the poetical domain Picture Quote #1

Poetry, mythology, and religion represent the world as man would like to have it, while science represents the world as he gradually comes to discover it Picture Quote #1

To most people who look at a mobile, it’s no more than a series of flat objects that move. To a few, though, it may be poetry Picture Quote #1

Poetry is a kind of magic that very few can create and even fewer can truly understand and appreciate in all its glory Picture Quote #1

Hubble touches people. When you’re looking that far out, you’re giving people their place in the universe, it touches people. Science is often visual, so it doesn’t need translation. It’s like poetry, it touches you Picture Quote #1

Romantic poetry and fiction of the last 2000 years has blinded us to the fact that emotions are a low form of jungle consciousness. Emotional actions are the most contracted, dangerous form of fanatic stupor Picture Quote #1

For me, drawing is everything, because it informs everything. It even informs my poetry. It’s the way I begin everything Picture Quote #1

Mathematics is a form of poetry which transcends poetry in that it proclaims a truth; a form of reasoning which transcends reasoning in that it wants to bring about the truth it proclaims; a form of action, of ritual behavior, which does not find fulfilment in the act but must proclaim and elaborate a poetic form of truth Picture Quote #1

I believe that from the earth emerges a musical poetry that is by the nature of its sources tonal. I believe that these sources cause to exist a phonology of music, which evolves from the universal, and is known as the harmonic series Picture Quote #1

That impulse I think is a form of love. Poetry is something that comes to you, rather than your having to work out its form beforehand Picture Quote #1

Learning to program has no more to do with designing interactive software than learning to touch type has to do with writing poetry Picture Quote #1

As I started writing about loss and grief, I was taking what felt unmanageable and using my songwriting, my sense of poetry and discipline, to try and make it manageable Picture Quote #1

I’d advise all you songwriters out there, if you’re getting into it for the business, go home and get a job digging ditches or something. Get a life. You’ll learn a lot more, and you won’t write a lot of rotten poetry Picture Quote #1

The field of action of a photograph should be that chessboard of the heart and mind upon which poetry and art have always operated Picture Quote #1

The best thing about conceptual poetry is that it doesn’t need to be read. You don’t have to read it. As a matter of fact, you can write books, and you don’t even have to read them. My books, for example, are unreadable. All you need to know is the concept behind them. Here’s every word I spoke for a week. Here’s a year’s worth of weather reports... and without ever having to read these things, you understand them Picture Quote #1

You know I have about the same interest in jewelry as I have in politics, horse racing, modern poetry, and women who need weird excitement – none Picture Quote #1

Bad, quirky poetry might be better than some of the good stuff, because it really comes from the heart Picture Quote #1

And a lot of times in slam poetry I feel like people are so worried about the performance that the words might not be as strong Picture Quote #1

If you don’t mark your successes, the day your ship comes in could be just another day at the office, and there’s no poetry in that Picture Quote #1

This poetry. I never know what I’m going to say. I don’t plan it. When I’m outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all Picture Quote #1

I knew I was in the vicinity of a serious lesson, if not about how to live life, then at least how to put some poetry into your craven retreat from it Picture Quote #1

Poetry was syllable and rhythm. Poetry was the measurement of breath. Poetry was time make audible. Poetry evoked the present moment; poetry was the antidote to history. Poetry was language free from habit Picture Quote #1

Ive realized that even more that what is beautiful about the accordion is to play with a single finger sometimes, with a very pure, very pointed sound that gives a lot of poetry and emotion Picture Quote #1

I love contemporary poetry because it moves between what we call poetry and what we call philosophy. It joins these fields and makes writing more natural, as in how it is lived in the person. We don’t separate thinking from feeling in real life, so why should we separate it in writing? Picture Quote #1

There’s plenty that poetry cannot do, but the miracle, of course, is how much it can do, how much it does do Picture Quote #1

The land is like poetry: it is inexplicably coherent, it is transcendent in its meaning, and it has the power to elevate a consideration of human life Picture Quote #1

If you commit yourself to the art of poetry, you commit yourself to the task of learning how to see, using words as elements of sight and their sounds as prisms. And to see means to see something worth all the agony of learning how to see Picture Quote #1

What you have to realize when you write poetry, or if you love poetry, is that poetry is just naturally the greatest God damn thing that ever was in the whole universe Picture Quote #1

That is what poetry can do. It speaks to us of what does not exist, which is not only better than what exists, but even more like the truth Picture Quote #1
