Poems Quotes

I didn’t write my poems because I wanted to, they were wrung from me. I had to write them Picture Quote #1

My poems covered the bare places in my childhood like the fine, new skin under a scab that hasn’t yet fallen off completely Picture Quote #1

Poetry is a way for me to explore a tingly feeling, to let it play itself out, and also to map it. I feel like I’m making little star maps when I write poems Picture Quote #1

I believe that poets have to be inside their poems somewhere, or the poem won’t work Picture Quote #1

I was intoxicated by the romantic poetry of our great writers. I arranged the world according to my private use, looking at it through the poems I had devoured Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Memory has always been fundamental for me. In fact, remembering what I had forgotten is the way most of the poems get started Picture Quote #1

I’m partial to coffee shops, brain work, and poems on the page. I write after midnight. Sometimes, twisty syntax happens, and I surrender Picture Quote #1

Whereas there are lots of good novels out there; there are a few good movies out there. People have been writing great poems for years, but there aren’t a lot of good comics. I like trying to write them Picture Quote #1

I’ve had journals ever since I was really little. Sometimes I write poems and stuff, but for the most part I write down what happens to me during the day that I don’t want to forget. So I have books filled with little things like that Picture Quote #1

We recognize that we cannot survive on meditation, poems and sunsets. We are restless. We have an irresistible urge to dip our hands into the stuff of the earth and do something with it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

These are the poems of a traveler and a lover who feels both the terror of time passing and the consolation of eternity. From such tension spring lovely poetic objects, ready for intelligent use Picture Quote #1

Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I’d start writing poems about suicide Picture Quote #1

Don’t be too harsh to these poems until they’re typed. I always think typescript lends some sort of certainty: at least, if the things are bad then, they appear to be bad with conviction Picture Quote #1

The world is so great and rich, and life so full of variety, that you can never lack occasions for poems Picture Quote #1

It is not enough for poems to be fine; they must charm, and draw the mind of the listener at will Picture Quote #1

All is fish that comes to the literary net. Goethe puts his joys and sorrows into poems, I turn my adventures into bread and butter Picture Quote #1

Poverty is very good in poems but very bad in the house; very good in maxims and sermons but very bad in practical life Picture Quote #1

Mythologies, in other words, mythologies and religions are great poems and, when recognized as such, point infallibly through things and events to the ubiquity of a Picture Quote #1

Poems and songs penned as an unstoppable outpouring of the heart take on a life of their own. They transcend the limits of nationality and time as they pass from person to person, from one heart to another Picture Quote #1

Often I find that poems predict what I’m going to do later in my own writing, and often I find that poems predict my life. So I think poetry is the most intense expression of feeling that we have Picture Quote #1

I held her wrists and then I got it through the eyes: hatred, centuries deep and true. I was wrong and graceless and sick. all the things I had learned had been wasted. there was no creature living as foul as I and all my poems were false Picture Quote #1

Everyone should be able to do one card trick, tell two jokes, and recite three poems, in case they are ever trapped in an elevator Picture Quote #1

With poems one accomplishes so little when one writes them early. One should hold off and gather sense and sweetness a whole life long, a long life if possible, and then, right at the end, one could perhaps write ten lines that are good Picture Quote #1

Also, I designed a pretty fascinating bracelet, where you put a rubber band around your favorite book of poems for a year, and then you take it off and wear it Picture Quote #1

Ah men, why do you want all this attention? I can write poems for myself, make love to a doorknob if absolutely necessary. What do you have to offer me I can’t find otherwise except humiliation? Which I no longer need Picture Quote #1

You’ll be a poorer person all your life if you don’t know some of the great stories and great poems Picture Quote #1

He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably wise; dreamed of her, wrote poems to her, which, ignoring the subject, she corrected in red ink Picture Quote #1
