I have epiphanies all the time, because I’m always thinking. I’m a thinker. I’m always writing poetry, I’m always coming to conclusions Picture Quote #1

Poetry is a street fighter. It has sharp elbows. It can look after itself. Poetry can’t be used for manipulation; it’s why you never see good poetry in advertising Picture Quote #1

There’s a fierce practicality and empiricism which the whole imaginative, lyrical aspect of poetry comes from Picture Quote #1

Good poetry is like effective prayer, it feeds the human spirit, it nourishes, it puts us in touch with forces far greater than ourselves Picture Quote #1

I like poetry when I don’t quite understand why I like it. Poetry isn’t just a question of wrapping something up and giving it to someone else to unwrap. It just doesn’t work like that Picture Quote #1

The music of revelation announces itself to the reader in somber brooding tones or in melodies light as air and one is invited to dance with the most captivating of partners: poetry Picture Quote #1

The reason I often say, for me, photography is analogous to poetry, for my kind of work more so than journalism, is because it’s so open to interpretation. And I’m very happy having different interpretations of it Picture Quote #1

Any work that is not rooted in myth and poetry or that does not partake of the depth and essence of the universe is merely a ghost Picture Quote #1

If language had been the creation not of poetry but of logic, we should only have one Picture Quote #1

Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves Picture Quote #1

All the new media are art forms which have the power of imposing, like poetry, their own assumptions Picture Quote #1

Why should it happen that among the great many women whom I see and am fond of, suddenly somebody I meet for half an hour opens the door into poetry? Picture Quote #1

Be it sculpture, poetry, or narrative fraught with terrible insight... art does endure. It troubles and pleases, inspires, and reminds us that humanity is ever capable of adding to the sum of the world’s grave beauty Picture Quote #1

Poetry arrived in search of me. I don’t know, I don’t know where it came from, from winter or a river. I don’t know how or when Picture Quote #1

Writing poetry, we live among the wild beasts, and when we touch a man, the stuff of someone in whom we believed, and he goes to pieces like a rotten pie, you... gather together whatever can be salvaged, while I cup my hands around the live coal of life Picture Quote #1

Neither poetry, nor ambition, nor love have any alertness of countenance as they pass by me Picture Quote #1

Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures Picture Quote #1

Why do you always write poetry? Why do you not write prose? Prose is so much more difficult Picture Quote #1

The trombone is the true head of the family of wind instruments... it has all the serious and powerful tones of sublime musical poetry, from religious, calm and imposing accents to savage, orgiastic outburst Picture Quote #1

Literary poetry in a painter is something special, and is neither illustration nor the translation of writing by form Picture Quote #1

Every authentic poem contributes to the labour of poetry... to bring together what life has separated or violence has torn apart Picture Quote #1

Poetry is about slowing down. You sit and you read something, you read it again, and it reveals a little bit more, and things come to light you never could have predicted Picture Quote #1

Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings Picture Quote #1

Why can’t fellows be allowed to do what they like when they like and as they like, instead of other fellows sitting on banks and watching them all the time and making remarks and poetry and things about them? Picture Quote #1
