Poetical Quotes (page 7)

No, I don't mean love, when I say patriotism. I mean fear. The fear of the other. And its expressions are political, not poetical: hate, rivalry, aggression. Ursula K. Le Guin
There is some of the same fitness in a man's building his own house that there is in a bird's building its own nest. Who knows but if men constructed their dwellings with their own hands, and provided food for themselves and families simply and honestly enough, the poetic faculty would be universally developed, as birds universally sing when they are so engaged? But alas! we do like cowbirds and cuckoos, which lay their eggs in nests which other birds have built, and cheer no traveller with... Henry David Thoreau
Historical sense and poetic sense should not, in the end, be contradictory, for if poetry is the little myth we make, history is the big myth we live, and in our living, constantly remake. Robert Penn Warren
Ursula K. Le Guin quote: "I always grow poetic when I am lying to myself."
I always grow poetic when I am lying to myself. Ursula K. Le Guin
I think I summed up my attitude to philosophy when I said: philosophy ought really to be written only as a poetic composition. Ludwig Wittgenstein
There are deeper strata of truth in cinema, and there is such a thing as poetic, ecstatic truth. It is mysterious and elusive, and can be reached only through fabrication and imagination and stylization. Werner Herzog
I, Anita Blake, scourge of the undead-the human with more vampire kills than any other vampire executioner in the country-was dating a vampire. It was poetically ironic. Laurell K. Hamilton
I've already written 300 space poems. But I look upon my ultimate form as being a poetic prose. When you read it, it appears to be prose, but within the prose you have embedded the techniques of poetry. Story Musgrave
Today not even a universal fire could make the torrential poetic production of our time disappear. But it is exactly a question of production, that is, of hand-made products which are subject to the laws of taste and fashion. Eugenio Montale
It has often been observed that the repercussion of poetic language on prose language can be considered a decisive cut of a whip. Eugenio Montale
Pat Metheny quote: "Jazz is not something that can be defined through blunt..."
Jazz is not something that can be defined through blunt instruments. It is much more poetic than that. Pat Metheny
Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them. Hypatia
Michel Gondry quote: "It's very hard to say I'm surrealist. It's like saying I'm..."
It's very hard to say I'm surrealist. It's like saying I'm poetic. It's not something you want necessarily to be aware of. Michel Gondry
You are ugly when you love her, you are beautiful and fresh, vital and free, modern and poetic when you don't... you are more beautiful as an orphan than as your mother's son. Witold Gombrowicz
Eccentric doesn't bother me. 'Eccentric' being a poetic interpretation of a mathematical term meaning something that doesn't follow the lines - that's okay. Crispin Glover
