Poetry Quotes

Best believe that needle hurt you Best to see these true colors Than follow one of your false virtues A little secret to make you think: Why is the crazy stuff we never say, poetry in ink? Picture Quote #1

I like to think that the best poetry is or involves a contest between ordinary conversation and ritual Picture Quote #1

I always liked the magic of poetry but now I’m just starting to see behind the curtain of even the best poets, how they’ve used, tried and tested craft to create the illusion. Wonderful feeling of exhilaration to finally be there Picture Quote #1

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. But that’s not a reason not to write love poetry. Some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry Picture Quote #1

Poetry is the whispering of a truth by the shouting of the best possible lies Picture Quote #1

Poetry at its best is the language your soul would speak if you could teach your soul to speak Picture Quote #1

Today the U.S. is farther from being nourished by poetry than it was a hundred years ago, when books of poems were best-sellers Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare wrote better poetry for not knowing too much; Milton , I think, knew too much finally for the good of his poetry Picture Quote #1

There are better ways we can transform this virulent hatred - by living our ideals, the Peace Corps, exchange students, teachers, exporting our music, poetry, blue jeans Picture Quote #1

The Bible is not just one book, but an entire library, with stories, songs, poetry, letters and history, as well as literature that might more obviously qualify as ‘religious.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m not really one for fancy, big words and poetry, and the scriptwriters worked very hard on ‘Paradise Lost’ to translate it Picture Quote #1

The biggest problem is people are afraid of poetry, think they can’t understand it or that it will be boring Picture Quote #1

I think people turn to poetry more often than they think they do, or encounter it in more ways than they think that they do. I think we forget the places that we encounter it, say, in songs or in other little bits and pieces of things that we may have remembered from childhood Picture Quote #1

Bleak House is just the most astounding piece of work. There’s huge, visionary poetry in it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t see how poetry can ever be easy... Real poetry, the thick, dense, intense, complicated stuff that lives and endures, requires blood sweat; blood and sweat are essential elements in poetry as well as behind it Picture Quote #1

One night, I lay awake for hours, just terrified. When the dawn finally came up - the comfortable blue sky, the familiar world returning - I could think of no other way to express my relief than through poetry. I made a decision there and then that it was what I wanted to do. Every time I pulled a wishbone, it was what I asked for Picture Quote #1

I use rock and jazz and blues rhythms because I love that music. I hope my poetry has a relationship with good-time rock’n roll Picture Quote #1

What we know is that Shakespeare wrote perhaps the most remarkable body of passionate love poetry in the English language to a young man Picture Quote #1

Growing up in the fifties, having to wear a dog tag, having to take shelter in a bomb shelter. That turned me toward the road, I did not want to live in fear of that, I was gong to work somehow against what that vision was, and what that horror was. It was poetry, art, music Picture Quote #1

I love indices! They are poetry in and of themselves, depending on the book Picture Quote #1

Marriage - a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters in prose Picture Quote #1

I don’t think anybody reads a book of poetry front to back. Editors and reviewers only. I don’t think anybody else does Picture Quote #1

If I write a book it will probably be a book about how not to use the internet or a book of poetry Picture Quote #1

I’ve done a number of readings at poetry lounges in Vancouver and Los Angeles. I’ve compiled a book of poetry that’s completed, and two others I’m working on Picture Quote #1

Happiness is sharing a bowl of cherries and a book of poetry with a shade tree. He doesn’t eat much and doesn’t read much, but listens well and is a most gracious host Picture Quote #1

I find a lot of poetry very disappointing, but I do have poets that I go back to. One book of poetry that I’d like to mention is ‘The Exchange’ by Sophie Cabot Black. Her poems are difficult without being too difficult Picture Quote #1

I did know Ted Hughes and I partly wrote the book to explain to myself and others the complexities of a marriage that was for six years wonderfully productive of poetry and then ended in tragedy Picture Quote #1

I don’t like to have a calm, orderly, quiet place to work. I often compose while driving, compose in my head. It is true that I wrote my little book, ‘The Sounds of Poetry, A Brief Guide,’ almost entirely in airplanes and airport departure lounges Picture Quote #1

Being able to say something lyrically, to say something that will do more than just be words, is really hard. It’s easy to do when you’re writing a chapter of a book or writing poetry, but it’s really hard to do when you’re confined to a melody line Picture Quote #1
