Text Quotes
The language of the Catholic Church - the liturgy, the prayer, the gospels - was in many ways my first poetry. (Poetry Quotes)
People wish to be poets more than they wish to write poetry, and that’s a mistake. One should wish to celebrate more than one wishes to be celebrated. (Poetry Quotes)
PC stuff just lowers the general acceptance of good work and replaces it with bogus poetry that celebrates values that in themselves are probably quite worthy. (Poetry Quotes)
I think the biggest thing that I have to do is to remind people that poetry is there for us to turn to not only to remind us that we’re not alone - for example, if we are grieving the loss of someone - but also to help us celebrate our joys. That’s why so many people I know who’ve gotten married will have a poem read at the wedding. (Poetry Quotes)
Science arose from poetry... when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends. (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry is a lousy form of activism; it doesn’t really change much. And maybe we can point to one or two historical times when a poem has started a revolution or a rebellion or an uprising, but it doesn’t happen that often, and if you put the number of poems next to the number of political acts, it would be pretty slim. (Poetry Quotes)
The joy of poetry is that it will wait for you. Novels don’t wait for you. Characters change. But poetry will wait. I think it’s the greatest art. (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry had great powers over me from my childhood, and today the poems live in my memory which I read at the age of 7 or 8 years and which drove me to desperate attempts at imitation. (Poetry Quotes)
Fogs are like dreams that feed the soul, and without their mysterious embrace, childhood, courtship, poetry and the composition of music become all the more difficult. (Poetry Quotes)
...childlike wonder and awe have died. The scenery and poetry and music of the majesty of God have dried up like a forgotten peach at the back of the refrigerator. (Poetry Quotes)
Children seem naturally drawn to poetry - it’s some combination of the rhyme, rhythm, and the words themselves. (Poetry Quotes)
We love, you know, children love the ingredients of poetry. And then they go into this tunnel that we call adolescence, and when they come out of it, they hate poetry. (Poetry Quotes)
If I do a poetry reading I want people to walk out and say they feel better for having been there - not because you’ve done a comedy performance but because you’re talking about your father dying or having young children, things that touch your soul. (Poetry Quotes)
Music pulled me like a gravitational force. I entered college as a physics major but left as a Bachelor of Music, a degree with the same practical application as, say, one in the History of Chinese Poetry. (Poetry Quotes)
In traditional Asian arts, the word and the picture always sit next to each other. I have an aunt, a Chinese brush painter, who told me that when you do a Chinese brush painting, you have to pair the image up with some poetry. (Poetry Quotes)
I’m basically a poetry scholar, and I’m happier here in my studio with my row of Chinese dictionaries than I am, frankly, at Lincoln Center. (Poetry Quotes)
Why is every mom’s concern about sex? There are more important things in life, like school, careers, poetry, books, ice cream, or learning how to make the perfect chocolate cake. It’s so damn frustrating. (Poetry Quotes)
Music is my thing. It’s my thing; it’s what I love. It’s what I do. It’s football to me; it’s Christmas to me; religion to me; poetry to me. (Poetry Quotes)
The city and nature, the built stone and the found stone, concrete and slate, poetry addresses them all democratically. (Poetry Quotes)
The middle class is doing fine in fiction. But it’s not what gets me going. I love the working class, and everyone from it I’ve met, and think they’re incredibly witty, inventive - there’s a lot of poetry there. (Poetry Quotes)
I sing, I clean house, I write poetry. I cry. And I tell everyone I can, I Believe in YOU. (Poetry Quotes)
I write poetry. It comes naturally to me, but from a technical point of view it forces me to pay close attention to language and to scan. (Poetry Quotes)
I graduated with a B.A. from Goddard College in 1991 and then studied poetry for a year in the M.F.A. in Writing Program at Vermont College. (Poetry Quotes)
One of the most treasured books that I own is Donald Allen’s ‘The New American Poetry, 1945-1960.’ It was a totem of great importance and potency to my group of writer friends in college from 1960 to 1964. (Poetry Quotes)
When I’m not working, I’m on the road with my band. Or I’m performing in poetry houses doing spoken work. So I’ve got another passion and another outlet that allows me to be creatively fulfilled and not sitting at home pulling my hair out waiting for the right role to come along. (Poetry Quotes)
Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others. Then we might even come to see that it is our veneration for what has already been created, however beautiful and valid it may be, that petrifies us. (Poetry Quotes)
Prior to Wordsworth, humor was an essential part of poetry. I mean, they don’t call them Shakespeare comedies for nothing. (Poetry Quotes)
Whatever poetry that was in me was coming out in the form of constructing art books! (Poetry Quotes)
I have epiphanies all the time, because I’m always thinking. I’m a thinker. I’m always writing poetry, I’m always coming to conclusions. (Poetry Quotes)
[My poetry is] a way of coming to grips with reality . . . a way of discovery and definition. It is a way of solving for the unknowns. (Poetry Quotes)
