Rhyme Quotes

I can’t even make up a rhyme about an umbrella, let alone death and life and eternal peace Picture Quote #1

Time, ain’t nothin, but time. It’s a verse with no rhyme, and it all comes down to you Picture Quote #1

The ring of a false coin is not more recognizable than that of a rhyme setting forth a false sorrow Picture Quote #1

I write a lot from instinct. But as you’re writing out of instinct, once you reach a certain level as a songwriter, the craft is always there talking to you in the back of your head... that tells you when it’s time to go to the chorus, when it’s time to rhyme. Real basic craft... it’s second nature Picture Quote #1

This is also an execellent time to ask this question: Did I get lazy and go for a quick rhyme? Picture Quote #1

Writing a song isn’t that hard. Writing a good song is difficult. Let’s face it, we’re faced with taking a complex feeling or event, making words rhyme and saying exactly what we want them to say in a short amount of time... the primary reason for keeping it short and to the point is to be certain that you’re not boring your audience Picture Quote #1

I can remember being eight years old and having infinite possibilities. But life ends up being so much less that we thought it would be when we were kids, with relationships that are so empty and stupid and brutal. If you don’t find a way to break the chain and change in some way, then you wind up, as the rhyme goes: a murder of one, for sorrow Picture Quote #1

If there would be a recipe for a poem, these would be the ingredients: word sounds, rhythm, description, feeling, memory, rhyme, and imagination. They can be put together a thousand different ways, a thousand, thousand... more Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the truth don’t rhyme, sometime the lies get millions of views, funerals for little girls is that appealing to you? Picture Quote #1

I’m not the only kid who grew up this way. Surrounded by people who used to say that rhyme about sticks and stones. As if broken bones hurt more than the names we got called, and we got called them all. So we grew up believing no one would ever fall in love with us. That we’d be lonely forever. That we’d never meet someone to make us feel like the sun was something they built for us in their tool shed. So broken heart strings bled the blues as we tried to empty ourselves so we would feel nothing. Don’t tell me that hurts less than a broken bone Picture Quote #1

Life has shown me all too often that there is no rhyme or reason to the cruelty inflicted upon humanity Picture Quote #1

Now it is you who everyone presumes is so fragile. Wounded. Scarred. Maybe they’re right. Perhaps you are. A nursery rhyme comes into your head, and, like an egg, you allow yourself to topple onto your side, your legs still pulled hard against your torso. You lie like that a long while, watching the chrome shell of the tape measure sparkle until the sun moves Picture Quote #1

I’m a terrible punster. And I love to rhyme. I just can’t help myself Picture Quote #1

There will always be a place for bunnies to talk in rhyme, but that’s not what I do Picture Quote #1

Dejection of spirits, which may have prevented many a man from becoming an author, made me one. I find constant employment necessary, and therefore take care to be constantly employed.... When I can find no other occupation, I think; and when I think, I am very apt to do it in rhyme Picture Quote #1

People say modernism killed poetry for them: it doesn’t rhyme, it doesn’t touch a popular musical oral tradition. Years ago, you memorized and read poetry; it was one of the things you were forced to learn. Now it has tiny role in school Picture Quote #1

I write, but I don’t write poetry. I don’t rhyme or anything like that Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately, there’s no greater rhyme or reason as to why it would be me. And since there is no answer as to why me, it’s not a question I feel really entitled to ask Picture Quote #1

My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references; it was all about being naive Picture Quote #1

There’s no rhyme or reason to anything that I do. It’s whatever seems right at the time Picture Quote #1

Remember picture books are the closest form of writing to a poem. Even though they don’t have to rhyme, they must be poetic. They must be written so the worst actress can read with comfort and expression Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I have something stuck in my head and that directs the rhyme that I’m writing with Picture Quote #1

Acting is like music and you improvise. It’s like jazz, there’s no rhyme or reason to it. It’s not a plan. You practice to music and you just play it Picture Quote #1

I saw I could rhyme words. It came simply to me. But I wrote some pretty horrible songs that I still have on tape Picture Quote #1

Music lives in me. Life is a song to me. I have the gift of rhyme, and I’m always trying to write and rhyme. Music is just natural everyday occurrence with me Picture Quote #1

I was very introverted growing up and I had small circle of friends. Any opportunity I got to rap or articulate things through rhyme or hip hop was great for me Picture Quote #1

Loving and perishing: it’s been a rhyme all these eternities. The will to love: that is, also being willing to die Picture Quote #1

The stock market resembles a huge laundry in which institutions take in large blocks of each others washing... without rhyme or reason Picture Quote #1

A poet who makes use of a worse word instead of a better, because the former fits the rhyme or the measure, though it weakens the sense, is like a jeweller, who cuts a diamond into a brilliant, and diminishes the weight to make it shine more Picture Quote #1

It has as much to do with the energy released by linguistic fission and fusion, with the buoyancy generated by cadence and tone and rhyme and stanza, as it has to do with the poem’sconcerns or the poet’s truthfulness Picture Quote #1
