And I say to my heart rave on  (Mary Oliver Quotes) My work is loving the world  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Ten times a day something happens to me like this - some strengthening throb of amazement - some good sweet empathic ping and swell. This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness  (Mary Oliver Quotes) A mind that is lively and inquiring, compassionate, curious, angry, full of music, full of feeling, is a mind full of possible poetry.  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Do you cherish your humble and silky life?  (Mary Oliver Quotes) As long as you’re dancing, you can break the rules  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Listen--are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?  (Mary Oliver Quotes) We do not love anything more deeply than we love a story...  (Mary Oliver Quotes) I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Belief isn’t always easy. But this much I have learned--- if not enough else--- to live with my eyes open.  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Snow was falling, so much like stars filling the dak trees that one could easily imagine its reason for being was nothing more the prettiness.  (Mary Oliver Quotes) It is a serious thing // just to be alive / on this fresh morning / in this broken world  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Said the river: imagine everything you can imagine, then keep on going  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Look for verbs of muscle, adjectives of exactitude  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Maybe the world, without us, is the real poem  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Today again I am hardly myself. It happens over and over  (Mary Oliver Quotes) I’ve always wanted to write poems and nothing else  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Who do you want to be in your one wild and precious life?  (Mary Oliver Quotes) I was hurrying through my own soul . . . I was leaning out . . . I was listening  (Mary Oliver Quotes) I don’t know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention  (Mary Oliver Quotes) We all have a hungry heart, and one of the things we hunger for is happiness. So as much as I possibly could, I stayed where I was happy. I spent a great deal of time in my younger years just writing and reading, walking around the woods in Ohio, where I grew up  (Mary Oliver Quotes) The sea can do craziness, it can do smooth, it can lie down like silk breathing or toss havoc shoreward; it can give gifts or withhold all; it can rise, ebb, froth like an incoming frenzy of fountains, or it can sweet-talk entirely. As I can too, and so, no doubt, can you, and you  (Mary Oliver Quotes) The dream of my life is to lie down by a slow river and stare at the light in the trees - to learn something by being nothing  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? / Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect?  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Life is much the same when it’s going well-- resonant and unremarkable. But who, not under disaster’s seal, can understand what life is like when it begins to crumble?  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Poetry is a river; many voices travel in it; poem after poem moves along in the exciting crests and falls of the river waves. None is timeless; each arrives in an historical context; almost everything, in the end, passes. But the desire to make a poem, and the world’s willingness to receive it--indeed the world’s need of it--these never pass  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Oh, yesterday, that one, we all cry out. Oh, that one! How rich and possible everything was! How ripe, ready, lavish, and filled with excitement--how hopeful we were on those summer days, under the clean, white racing clouds. Oh, yesterday!  (Mary Oliver Quotes) And it is exceedingly short, his galloping life. Dogs die so soon. I have my stories of that grief, no doubt many of you do also. It is almost a failure of will, a failure of love, to let them grow old-or so it feels. We would do anything to keep them with us, and to keep them young. The one gift we cannot give  (Mary Oliver Quotes) There is a notion that creative people are absent-minded, reckless, heedless of social customs and obligations. It is, hopefully, true for they are in another world altogether  (Mary Oliver Quotes) Do you love this world? Do you cherish your humble and silky life? Do you adore the green grass, with its terror beneath?  (Mary Oliver Quotes)
