Poetry Quotations
Poetry must be made by all and not by one. Comte de Lautreamont Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words. Robert Frost When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. John F. Kennedy Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things. T. S. Eliot If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. Emily Dickinson |
