Text Quotes
A painter must compensate the natural deficiencies of his art. He has but one sentence to utter, but one moment to exhibit. He cannot, like the poet or historian, expatiate, and impress the mind  (Poet Quotes) The artist does not exist except as a personification, a figure of speech that represents the sum total of art itself. It is painting that is the genius of the painter, poetry of the poet, and a person is a creative artist to the extent that he participates in that genius  (Poet Quotes) In the years 1910 and 1911 I had 51 innings with 10 not outs and an average of 19. This I consider a creditable record for a poet  (Poet Quotes) Art is eternally young, but the poet ages. If only he remained as young as art! If only it aged with him!  (Poet Quotes) I want to be a poet. I don’t want to talk about genies in bottles anymore  (Poet Quotes) Did the poet use red to symbolize blood? Anger? Lust? Or is the wheelbarrow simply red because red sounded better than black?  (Poet Quotes) Istanbul, a universal beauty where poet and archeologist, diplomat and merchant, princess and sailor, northerner and westerner screams with same admiration. The whole world thinks that this city is the most beautiful place on earth  (Poet Quotes) We’re here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why even be here? We’re creating a completely new consciousness, like an artist or a poet. That’s how you have to think of this. We’re rewriting the history of human thought with what we’re doing  (Poet Quotes) Nature as a poet, an enthusiastic workingman, becomes more and more visible the farther and higher we go; for the mountains are fountains – beginning places, however related to sources beyond mortal ken  (Poet Quotes) A man is a poet if difficulties inherent in his art provide him with ideas; he is not a poet if they deprive him of ideas  (Poet Quotes) I thought I was going to be a poet when I was in college, but then I found out I was poor so I decided to do something I’d get paid for  (Poet Quotes) The trouble with poetry is it’s often written to the sound of a drum only the poet may hear; nonetheless, blessed are those poets who always manage to find unshakeable pleasure in their own works  (Poet Quotes) The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things  (Poet Quotes) It is not easy to describe the present position of legal opinion on advertising and free speech. Only a poet can capture the essence of chaos  (Poet Quotes) The poet reminds men of their uniqueness and it is not necessary to possess the ultimate definition of this uniqueness. Even to speculate is a gain  (Poet Quotes) A poet must have died as a man before he is worth anything as a poet  (Poet Quotes) The emperor would prefer the poet to keep away from politics, the emperor’s domain, so that he can manage things the way he likes  (Poet Quotes) These days, if you happen to be a poet you have to sing your words to get your ideas out  (Poet Quotes) How do you define a poet? It’s very simple. Anyone declaring that he is a poet, is a poet  (Poet Quotes) The poet must be free to love or hate as the spirit moves him, free to change, free to be a chameleon, free to be an enfant terrible. He must above all never worry about this effect on other people  (Poet Quotes) The job of the poet is to use language effectively, his own language, the only language which is to him authentic  (Poet Quotes) Good science and good art are always about a condition of awe... I don’t think there is any other function for the poet or the scientist in the human tribe but the astonishment of the soul  (Poet Quotes) He who creates three to five haiku poems during a lifetime is a haiku poet. He who attains to completes ten is a master  (Poet Quotes) The poet wants justice. And the poet wants art. In poetry we can’t have one without the other  (Poet Quotes) There has never been a great poet who wasn’t also a great reader of poetry  (Poet Quotes) The poet like an acrobat climbs on rime to a high wire of his own making  (Poet Quotes) Once an author finishes a poem, he becomes merely another reader. I may remember what I intended to put into a text, but what matters is what a reader actually finds there which is usually something both more and less than the poet planned  (Poet Quotes) Let the poet dream his dreams. Yet, the poet must look at the world; must enter into other men’s lives; must look at the earth and the sky, must examine the dust in the street; must walk through the world and his mirror  (Poet Quotes) It was an epiphany when I realized you don’t have to call yourself a linguist, a translator, a poet. You can call yourself an artist and you can do all these things  (Poet Quotes) It is bizarre that some people can’t understand how a serious poet could work at a finance firm. Goethe was a bureaucrat. Eliot worked as a banker  (Poet Quotes)
