Poetry Quotes

If you become more sensitive to beauty, to poetry, that means your love has blossomed. And all the energy that has been left by fear, anger and hate, will be taken over by your love, your sensitivity, your compassion, your creativity. This is the whole alchemy of changing base metals into gold Picture Quote #1

If you are a person this world will seem full of persons. When you are the being you will not feel bound. You will know every being, look in the eyes of every being, and you know, you will recognize yourself. These things are not poetry. They are simple truths. You will experience them. In your heart they will be confirmed Picture Quote #1

There’s no difference between lyrics and poetry. Words are words. The only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. They’ve got something to lose if they say it’s all poetry; if there’s not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. It’s all the same. Lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. They are interchangeable to me Picture Quote #1

Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah Picture Quote #1

No method nor discipline can supersede the necessity of being forever on the alert. What is a course of history, or philosophy, or poetry, or the most admirable routine of life, compared with the discipline of looking always at what is to be seen? Will you be a reader, a student merely, or a seer? Picture Quote #1

Every authentic poem contributes to the labor of poetry... to bring together what life has separated or violence has torn apart... Poetry can repair no loss, but it defies the space which separates. And it does this by its continual labor of reassembling what has been scattered Picture Quote #1

Poetry cannot be translated; and, therefore, it is the poets that preserve the languages; for we would not be at the trouble to learn a language if we could have all that is written in it just as well in a translation. But as the beauties of poetry cannot be preserved in any language except that in which it was originally written, we learn the language Picture Quote #1

Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow Picture Quote #1

Whoever lives for poetry must read everything. How often has the light of a new idea sprung for me from a simple brochure! When one allows himself to be animated by new images, he discovers iridescence in the images of old books. Poetic ages unite in a living memory. The new age awakens the old. The old age comes to live again in the new. Poetry is never as unified as when it diversifies Picture Quote #1

Downtime is where we become ourselves, looking into the middle distance, kicking at the curb, lying on the grass or sitting on the stoop and staring at the tedious blue of the summer sky. I don’t believe you can write poetry, or compose music, or become an actor without downtime, and plenty of it, a hiatus that passes for boredom but is really the quiet moving of the wheels inside that fuel creativity Picture Quote #1

I will drop into your chest like a vegetal ambrosia. I will be the grain that regenerates the cruelly plowed furrow. Poetry will be born of our intimate union. A God we shall create together, and we shall soar heavenward like sunbeams, perfumes, butterflies, birds, and all winged things Picture Quote #1

I wanted to reimagine the role, in a way that was respectful of its traditional responsibilities but made them part of a wider pattern of poetry about national incidents, events, preoccupations; and to spend a great deal of time going to schools trying to demystify poetry Picture Quote #1

I wish I’d been better able to resist the sense of obligation to write some of the poems I did. It’s in the nature of commissioned work to be written too much from the side of your mind that knows what it’s doing, which dries up the poetry Picture Quote #1

Even the people who have had success and made money writing these books of fiction seem to feel the need to pretend it’s no big deal, or part of a natural progression from poetry to fiction, but often it’s really just about the money, the perceived prestige Picture Quote #1

I have nothing to say and I am saying it and that is poetry as I need it Picture Quote #1

Art: If the object of poetry is, to make men, then poetry is the heir of prophecy Picture Quote #1

All words at every level of prose and poetry and all devices of language and speech derive their meaning from figure / ground relation Picture Quote #1

Lay bare the soul.. Painting and poetry are like love.. An exchange of blood. A passionate embrace, without restraint, without defence. The picture is born.. Of an overflow of emotions and feelings Picture Quote #1

The great modern heresy in poetry is to confuse the use we make of words in a poem with modalities of speech... For true poetry is never speech but always a song Picture Quote #1

Poetry is creative expression.. By creative I mean original... Which raises the question how are we to recognize originality when we see it... It is an instinctive matter Picture Quote #1

Poetry is a mental activity in which there is no time interval between the words and the thought... And it mat inhere in a single word or phrase Picture Quote #1

Poetry must be read to be poetry. It may be that one reader is all that I deserve. If this is so, I want that reader to be you Picture Quote #1

What matters in poetry is form, how words work together, the sounds and silences their combinations make. The ordered effects they produce on the attentive hearer Picture Quote #1

Poetry is a process, a form of discovery, which if it serves a cause, transcends it Picture Quote #1

There is always an analogy between nature and the imagination, and possibly poetry is merely the strange rhetoric of that parallel Picture Quote #1

Poetry is a purging of the world’s poverty and change and evil and death. It is a present perfecting, a satisfaction in the irremediable poverty of life Picture Quote #1

I do consider my engaged poetry as a personal mission, a duty towards a society which evolves into a system of control of consciences : one even becomes a suspect for not thinking correctly! Picture Quote #1

A true account of the actual is the rarest poetry, for common sense always takes a hasty and superficial view Picture Quote #1

Mathematics is one of the essential emanations of the human spirit, a thing to be valued in and for itself, like art or poetry Picture Quote #1

Painting is poetry which is seen and not heard, and poetry is a painting which is heard but not seen Picture Quote #1
