In the Book of Poetry there are three hundred poems, but the meaning of all of them may be put in a single sentence: Have no debasing thoughts. (Poetry Quotes)

I read a little bit of nonfiction and a lot of poetry. I think of poetry as my shot of whiskey when I don’t have time to savor a whole bottle of wine. (Poetry Quotes)
Within the bottle’s depths, the wine’s soul sang one night. Drink wine, drink poetry, drink virtue. (Poetry Quotes)
When I was a teenager, just about the only thing I could do right was play music. In my graduating class, I was certainly not voted ‘Most Literary Boy.’ I can assure you I was not voted ‘Mostly Likely to Succeed.’ I was voted ‘Most Musical Boy.’ And the music led to the poetry. (Poetry Quotes)
You do not need a boyfriend or a girlfriend to write an emotional poet; because poetry is beyond hooks and holes. (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry, like dreams, will eventually break through every person’s consciousness, even the tightest iconoclast’s. (Poetry Quotes)

Khalif (Caliph) Al-Ma’mun’s period of rule (813 - 833 C.E.) may be considered the ‘golden age’ of science and learning. He had always been devoted to books and to learned pursuits. His brilliant mind was interested in every form of intellectual activity. Not only poetry but also philosophy, theology, astronomy, medicine and law all occupied his time. (Poetry Quotes)
Don’t be so quick to count out the teenagers. Some of the world’s greatest changes, brilliant poetry, and innovations have come from the teenage mind. (Poetry Quotes)
My dream is that people will find a way back home, into their bodies, to connect with the earth, to connect with each other, to connect with the poor, to connect with the broken, to connect with the needy, to connect with people calling out all around us, to connect with the beauty, poetry, the wildness. (Poetry Quotes)
The Color Purple really floored me. That book was just incredible because I loved the language. The biggest deal of that book was that I loved the poetry of broken English. Broken English and vernacular. It just floored me that you can actually capture the way people really talked. And I also really connected to the social class element. (Poetry Quotes)
The collective love for music and poetry and just the brotherhood of sound. And it’s still kind of flowing through me and I attribute that to the team. (Poetry Quotes)
I have my Poetry 180 project, which I’ve made my main project. We encourage high schools, because that’s really where, for most people, poetry dies off and gets buried under other adolescent pursuits. (Poetry Quotes)
There’s very little of the intentional about the business of writing poetry, as least as far as I can see. (Poetry Quotes)

Poetry relishes ripe fruit - but ripe is one thing and overripe quite another. That’s something poetry doesn’t like, so it couldn’t care less if I were to fall overripe to the ground. (Poetry Quotes)
