David Hockney Dancing is the poetry of the foot. John Dryden When I was younger, I felt it was my duty to wake people up. I thought poetry was asleep. I thought rock 'n' roll was asleep. Patti Smith Art: If the object of poetry is, to make men, then poetry is the heir of prophecy. Muhammad Iqbal If the object of poetry is, to make men, then poetry is the heir of prophecy.

Wallace Stevens Poetry, the genre of purest beauty, was born of a truncated woman: her head severed from her body with a sword, a symbolic penis.

Wallace Stevens Everything is complicated; if that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore. Wallace Stevens In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all. Wallace Stevens Poetry and prayer are very similar. Carol Ann Duffy Only in dreams, in poetry, in play do we sometimes arrive at what we were before we were this thing that, who knows, we are. Julio Cortazar Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets. Federico Fellini There are certain things in which mediocrity is not to be endured, such as poetry, music, painting, public speaking. Jean de la Bruyere Poetry lies its way to the truth. John Ciardi Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know. Joseph Roux I write all the time - I write poetry, I love to write. Colin Quinn Poetry is what Milton saw when he went blind. Don Marquis |
