Text Quotes
If a poet has a dream, it is not of becoming famous, but of being believed  (Poet Quotes) He repeated until his dying day that there was no one with more common sense, no stone cutter more obstinate, no manager more lucid or dangerous, than a poet  (Poet Quotes) A subject for a great poet would be God’s boredom after the seventh day of creation  (Poet Quotes) American poetry, like American painting, is always personal with an emphasis on the individuality of the poet  (Poet Quotes) As the poet said, ‘Only God can make a tree,’ probably because it’s so hard to figure out how to get the bark on  (Poet Quotes) Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print  (Poet Quotes) Constellations shine with light that was emitted aeons ago, and I wait for something to come to me, words that a poet might use to illuminate life’s mysteries. But there is nothing  (Poet Quotes) For if anything is capable of making a poet of a literary man, it is my hometown love of the human, the living and ordinary  (Poet Quotes) A person hoping to become a poet must have the capacity of thinking of several things at a time  (Poet Quotes) Had any poet adequately described the wretched ugliness of a loved one turned inside out with grief?  (Poet Quotes) I cannot conceive why people will always mix up my own character and opinions with those of the imaginary beings which, as a poet, I have the right and liberty to draw  (Poet Quotes) I am no poet. I do not love words for the sake of words. I love words for what they can accomplish. Similarly, I am no arithmetician. Numbers that speak only of numbers are of little interest to me  (Poet Quotes) While the scientist sees everything that happens in one point of space, the poet feels everything that happens in one point of time  (Poet Quotes) As a poet and as a mathematician, he would reason well; as a mere mathematician, he could not have reasoned at all  (Poet Quotes) If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you’ll never be a novelist  (Poet Quotes) I’m a great poet. I don’t put my poems on paper: they consist of actions and feelings  (Poet Quotes) A poet is not an apostle; he drives out devils only by the power of the devil  (Poet Quotes) I called it a baptism in flaming ink that forced me to shed my shyness about recognizing myself as a poet and to accept the fact that life had never given me any choice in the matter. And then I had to discover exactly what that meant  (Poet Quotes) The plain state of being human is dramatic enough for anyone; you don’t need to be a heroin addict or a performance poet to experience extremity. You just have to love someone  (Poet Quotes) I am a warrior, so that my son may be a merchant, so that his son may be a poet  (Poet Quotes) If I correctly understand the sense of this succinct observation, our poet suggests here that human life is but a series of footnotes to a vast obscure unfinished masterpiece  (Poet Quotes) Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet  (Poet Quotes) Love is a great poet, its resources are inexhaustible, but if the end it has in view is not obtained, it feels weary and remains silent  (Poet Quotes) Like a great poet, nature produces the greatest results with the simplest means. There are simply a sun, flowers, water, and love  (Poet Quotes) ... it will not always happen that the success of a poet is proportionate to his labor  (Poet Quotes) I am the poet of the poor, because I was poor when I loved; since I could not give gifts, I gave words  (Poet Quotes) O master poet, I have sat down at thy feet. Only let me make my life simple and straight, like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music  (Poet Quotes) The poet is at the disposal of the night. His role is humble, he must clean house and await its due visitation  (Poet Quotes) The poet will write for his peers alone. He will remember only that he saw truth and beauty from his position, and expect the time when a vision as broad shall overlook the same field as freely  (Poet Quotes) The poet is a man who lives at last by watching his moods. An old poet comes at last to watch his moods as narrowly as a cat does a mouse  (Poet Quotes)
