Poets Quotes

Poets lose half the praise they should have got, Could it be known what they discreetly blot Picture Quote #1

Anyone can express himself or herself, but what writers and poets want to do in their work, more than simply express themselves, is communicate Picture Quote #1

We want to be poets of our life first of all in the smallest most everyday matters Picture Quote #1

Language may die at the hands of the schoolman: it is regenerated by the poets Picture Quote #1

I mainly wanted non-english writing poets, because I loved the idea that I was translating translations Picture Quote #1

Patricia Smith is one of the best poets around and has been for a long time. Her Blood Dazzler is full of capacious soul and formal inventiveness: the compassion and artfulness necessary to capture the tragedies and Tragedy of Katrina. Smith is herself a storm of beautiful, frightening talent. Her words will wash you or wash you away. I consider this new book a major literary event Picture Quote #1

And truly Philosophy is but sophisticated poetry. Whence do those ancient writers derive all their authority but from the poets? Picture Quote #1

Citizen’s Band radio renders one accessible to a wide variety of people from all walks of life. It should not be forgotten that all walks of life include conceptual artists, dry cleaners, and living poets Picture Quote #1

... the reason why there are so few first-class poets is that many people have intense feelings or first-class minds but to get the two together so that you will be willing to put a poem through sixty drafts, to be that self-critical, to keep breaking it down, that is what is rare. Right now most poetry is just self-indulgence Picture Quote #1

Drew Dellinger is one of the most creative, courageous and prophetic poets of his generation. I love his spirit. Don’t miss him! Picture Quote #1

The competition for the future of crime fiction is fierce, as it should be, but don’t take your eyes off Craig McDonald. He’s wily, talented and-rarest of the rare-a true original. He writes melancholy poetry that actually has melancholy poets wandering around, but don’t turn your backs on them, either. I am always eager to see what he’s going to do next Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been a fan of poetry. I grew up with Lawrence Ferlinghetti and the Beat poets. I really followed that stuff for a while. I just love the way people threw words around like they were painting Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a poet. I had a really romantic idea about what that would mean. My parents knew some poets, and I liked how they dressed and acted, but I didn’t really acknowledge that I only liked reading some bits of poetry while I was peeing or something Picture Quote #1

I have never reached certain levels of fame, like Lindsay Lohan did, or even Brittany Murphy. My career has always been this sort of even-keeled, steady existence. I was also raised by poets, and I’ve been doing poetry as long as I’ve been acting Picture Quote #1

Robert Frost really started this whole thing rolling. He was, I believe, the first poet who started going to colleges. Before that, poets didn’t give public readings very often, certainly not - there was no circuit of schools Picture Quote #1

I think poets are supposed to be writing for television and film. I grew up in the day of early TV that was so raw and funny, and I think we’re in the next important moment of television, where it’s really telling the epic of the culture like Charles Dickens was doing in the 19th century with his serialized novels Picture Quote #1

What poetry does above all else is develop sensibility. And that’s what makes poetry so dangerous. That’s why poetry is so good at undermining governments and so bad at building them. There’s nothing harder to organize than a group of poets Picture Quote #1

A perfect poem is impossible. Once it had been written, the world would end. Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal Picture Quote #1

To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets Picture Quote #1

The public want actresses, because they think all actresses bad. They don’t want music or poetry because they know that both are good. So actors and actresses thrive and poets and composers starve Picture Quote #1

I’m a happy camper when I’m doing both: writing and art every day, along with a dose of reading and adventures into what else is being done by other artists/writers and poets. Like breathing. I’ve written poems or fictions to go with a painting. The source for the inspiration of the art often eludes me Picture Quote #1

I’m afraid I take ... this rather clinical view of love: it’s saving you from madness. I’m not so enthusiastic as other poets have been Picture Quote #1

I am not afraid to die because I know heaven is a place of artists, musicians and poets Picture Quote #1

When I was ten, I spent a school holiday watching a lot of films: ‘Dead Poets Society’, ‘Stand By Me’, ‘Home Alone’ and ‘The Goonies’. It completely inspired me. I told my parents I wanted to become an actor after that Picture Quote #1

Summary riposte To the dreary wail There’s no knowing what Love is all about. Poets know a lot Picture Quote #1

I’m very grateful to all the people of Fresno, to Philip Levine and all the poets before me, and all the farmworkers. I didn’t get here by myself Picture Quote #1

Nations conquered and true love prevails, all encompassed in a poets tale Picture Quote #1

I’m inspired by the poets, so I’m always going to give in that direction, rather than in any other. It’s the making of me... and also the downfall of me Picture Quote #1

Those for whom the world is not enough: saints, conquerors, poets, and all lovers of books Picture Quote #1

If experiments are performed thousands of times at all seasons and in every place without once producing the effects mentioned by your philosophers, poets, and historians, this will mean nothing and we must believe their words rather than our own eyes? Picture Quote #1
