Text Quotes
It is certain that the greatest poets, orators, statesmen, and historians, men of the most brilliant and imposing talents, have labored as hard, if not harder, than day laborers; and that the most obvious reason why they have been superior to other men is that they have taken more pains than other men (Poets Quotes)
Mere poets are sottish as mere drunkards are, who live in a continual mist, without seeing or judging anything clearly. A man should be learned in several sciences, and should have a reasonable, philosophical and in some measure a mathematical head, to be a complete and excellent poet (Poets Quotes)
You know it already that each one of us is the effect of the infinite past; the child is ushered into the world not as something flashing from the hands of nature, as poets delight so much to depict, but he has the burden of an infinite past; for good or evil he comes to work out his own past deeds (Poets Quotes)
Poetry cannot be translated; and, therefore, it is the poets that preserve the languages; for we would not be at the trouble to learn a language if we could have all that is written in it just as well in a translation. But as the beauties of poetry cannot be preserved in any language except that in which it was originally written, we learn the language (Poets Quotes)
An emperor knows how to govern when poets are free to make verses, people to act plays, historians to tell the truth, ministers to give advice, the poor to grumble at taxes, students to learn lessons aloud, workmen to praise their skill and seek work, people to speak of anything, and old men to find fault with everything (Poets Quotes)
Poets can’t resist the dramatic pull of their lives and so inevitably write autobiographical verse (Poets Quotes)
Poets have to be sensitive to their audience, but it does not mean that they censor themselves. I realise my audience is diverse. Some will read with empathy and curiosity while others will take offense (Poets Quotes)
The community of poets I belong to is not as close as it used to be, if only for the fact that our lives have become busier: jobs, children, and the like (Poets Quotes)
Most poets, like most people, try hard to be like someone they admire or they are possessed with an image of what they ought to be (Poets Quotes)
She knows more of love than the poets can say, and her eyes offer something that won’t go away (Poets Quotes)
The trouble with the performance poets is that they don’t seem to have read anything. So there is not a real sense of the poetic tradition in their work (Poets Quotes)
In our period, they say there is free speech. They say there is no penalty for poets, there is no penalty for writing poems. They say this. This is the penalty (Poets Quotes)
While I don’t satisfy my curiosity about the way I work, I’m terribly curious about the way other poets work. But I would think that’s true about many of us (Poets Quotes)
Poets are always ahead of things in a certain way, their sense of language and their vision (Poets Quotes)
Some of my favorite poets had a tremendous sense of whimsy, so it’s a writing style I guess I admire (Poets Quotes)
The most important of the beat poets. He was a really true poet with an original voice, probably the most lyrical of those poets (Poets Quotes)
Go ahead. Fire your feeble guns. You won’t kill anything. There will always be poets in the world (Poets Quotes)
Unless we consent to lack the common things which men call success, we shall hardly become heroes or saints, philosophers or poets (Poets Quotes)
To a large extent, the problems of poets are the problems of painters, and poets must often turn to the literature of painting for a discussion of their own problems (Poets Quotes)
The lesson is that dying men must groan; and poets groan in rhymes that please the ear (Poets Quotes)
Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtile; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend (Poets Quotes)
We haven’t all had the good fortune to be ladies; we haven’t all been generals, or poets, or statesmen; but when the toast works down to the babies, we stand on common ground (Poets Quotes)
Reviewers are usually people who would have been poets, historians, biographers, etc., if they could; they have tried their talents at one or the other, and have failed; therefore they turn critics (Poets Quotes)
I find it impossible to think of favorite poets. I would rather list the ones I cannot stand (Poets Quotes)
The reason there are no great poets and writers now is because there are no great deeds or heroes to write about. The world is becoming tame and sad and dreary (Poets Quotes)
Poets are wiser than anyone because they’re the only people who have the guts to think and feel at the same time (Poets Quotes)
Invariably pure and austere, poets mostly starve to death embracing empty mountains, and when white clouds have no master, they just drift off, idle thoughts carefree (Poets Quotes)
Poets are not supposed to write epics any longer, despite the fact that the only poets who have endured and will endure are poets who have written epics (Poets Quotes)
By our own spirits are we deified: We poets in our youth begin in gladness; but thereof come in the end despondency and madness (Poets Quotes)
Language becomes a prison house only poets can escape... If we do not reject any strict distinctions between ordinary usage and figures of speech (Poets Quotes)
