Text Quotes
The poet, like the lover, is a person unable to reconcile what he knows with what he feels. His peculiarity is that he is under a certain compulsion to do so (Poet Quotes)
I try to avoid calling myself a poet because I think that’s something someone else has to call you. It’s like bragging (Poet Quotes)
I do not understand why any poet or writer would run for office; that’s a different sense of who you are. I’m just a poet. I am as truthful as I can be. That makes me an artist. I heed the people; I do not lead the people (Poet Quotes)
Here’s one more from my limited experience with all 3 fields: A writer creates life; a poet creates magic from life; a philosopher tries to understand life (Poet Quotes)
You are not an artist simply because you paint or sculpt or make pots that cannot be used. An artist is a poet in his or her own medium. And when an artist produces a good piece, that work has mystery, an unsaid quality; it is alive (Poet Quotes)
The solitude of the poet is the uniqueness of his experience, and the particulaity of his sensitivity and imagination (Poet Quotes)
I was writing poems when I was young, you know, because my father was a poet, so it was absolutely normal to follow my father (Poet Quotes)
If everybody became a poet the world would be much better. We would all read to each other (Poet Quotes)
The first man who compared woman to a rose was a poet; the second, an imbecile (Poet Quotes)
The most available example of how poetry works for a poet is yourself, and yet you’ll probably be the last one to know exactly how you’re serving the art and how the art is serving you (Poet Quotes)
There is some awe mixed with the joy of our surprise, when this poet, who lived in some past world, two or three hundred years ago, says that which lies close to my own soul, that which I also had wellnigh thought and said (Poet Quotes)
What verse is for the poet, dialectical thinking is for the philosopher. He grasps for it in order to get hold of his own enchantment, in order to perpetuate it (Poet Quotes)
Some poems are for holidays only. They are polished and sweet, but it is the sweetness of sugar, and not such as toil gives to sour bread. The breath with which the poet utters his verse must be that by which he lives (Poet Quotes)
The poet is he who can write some pure mythology today without the aid of posterity (Poet Quotes)
The poet who walks by moonlight is conscious of a tide in his thought which is to be referred to lunar influence (Poet Quotes)
The poet will maintain serenity in spite of all disappointments. He is expected to preserve an unconcerned and healthy outlook over the world, while he lives (Poet Quotes)
Poetry is the renewal of words, setting them free, and that’s what a poet is doing: loosening the words (Poet Quotes)
The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it (Poet Quotes)
Poets are being pursued by the philosophers today, out of the poverty of philosophy. God damn it, you might think a man had no business to be writing, to be a poet unless some philosophic stinker gave him permission (Poet Quotes)
A poet, as he is the author to others of the highest wisdom, pleasure, virtue, and glory, so he ought personally to be the happiest, the best, the wisest, and the most illustrious of men (Poet Quotes)
A wise man can and should stand above his times, not so the poet, but he should be their apex (Poet Quotes)
The plot! The plot! What kind of plot could a poet possibly provide that is not surpassed by the thinking, feeling reader? Form alone is divine (Poet Quotes)
I was a tiny bug. Now a mountain. I was left behind. Now honored at the head. You healed my wounded hunger and anger, and made me a poet who sings about joy (Poet Quotes)
I was a serious poet for quite a while and had little notebooks filled with poetry (Poet Quotes)
The poet who speaks out of the deepest instincts of man will be heard. The poet who creates a myth beyond the power of man to realize is gagged at the peril of the group that binds him. He is the true revolutionary: he builds a new world (Poet Quotes)
Some people are suspicious of others who have more than one talent. I’ve had poets tell me to my face that an actress can’t be a poet (Poet Quotes)
One time on a dive, I wound up drifting up in darkness surrounded by billions of photoluminescent creatures. It was a religious experience, one only a poet could do justice to (Poet Quotes)
The saint and poet seek privacy to ends the most public and universal: and it is the secret of culture, to interest the man more in his public, than in his private quality (Poet Quotes)
A great poet does not express his or her self; he expresses all of our selves (Poet Quotes)
A man sees only what concerns him... How much more, then, it requires different intentions of the eye and of the mind to attend to different departments of knowledge! How differently the poet and the naturalist look at objects! (Poet Quotes)
