Poetry Quotes (page 37)

But to do its noticing and judging, poetry balances itself on the pinprick of the moment. Slowing down, stopping yourself completely, to read and understand a poem is like trying to acquire an old-fashioned skill.... Ian Mcewan
If more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place in which to live. John F. Kennedy
In order not to feel time's horrid fardel bruise your shoulders, grinding you into the earth, get drunk and stay that way. On what? On wine, poetry, virtue, whatever. But get drunk! Charles Baudelaire
We must remember that there is a great difference between a myth and a miracle. A myth is the idealization of a fact. A miracle is the counterfeit of a fact. There is the same difference between a myth and a miracle that there is between fiction and falsehood -- between poetry and perjury. Miracles belong to the far past and the far future. The little line of sand, called the present, between the seas, belongs to common sense to the natural. Robert Green Ingersoll
I can’t help but notice that you keep writing love poetry to my wife. Well, you see, I married her, which makes her my wife. You know what you might want to try? Writing some poems about the sunset. The sunset isn’t fucking married. A. J. Jacobs
Oscar Wilde quote: "She lives the poetry she cannot write."
She lives the poetry she cannot write. Oscar Wilde
George Eliot quote: "Perfect love has a breath of poetry which can exalt the..."
Perfect love has a breath of poetry which can exalt the relations of the least-instructed human beings. George Eliot
The theme of the diary is always the personal, but it does not mean only a personal story: it means a personal relationship to all things and people. The personal, if it is deep enough, becomes universal, mythical, symbolic; I never generalize, intellectualise. I see, I hear, I feel. These are my primitive elements of discovery. Music, dance, poetry and painting are the channels for emotion. It is through them that experience penetrates our bloodstream. Anais Nin
As I walk, I construct perfect sentences that I cannot remember later at home. I don’t know if the ineffable poetry of those sentences derived from what they were or from their never having been (written). Fernando Pessoa
The longer I live here, the better satisfied I am in having pitched my earthly camp-fire, gypsylike, on the edge of a town, keeping it on one side, and the green fields, lanes, and woods on the other. Each, in turn, is to me as a magnet to the needle. At times the needle of my nature points towards the country. On that side everything is poetry. I wander over field and forest, and through me runs a glad current of feeling that is like a clear brook across the meadows of May. At others the... James Lane Allen
Maria Mitchell quote: "We especially need imagination in science. It is not all..."
We especially need imagination in science. It is not all logic, nor all mathematics, but is somewhat beauty and poetry. Maria Mitchell
Antonio Machado quote: "In order to write poetry, you must first invent a poet who..."
In order to write poetry, you must first invent a poet who will write it. Antonio Machado
Voltaire quote: "It is as impossible to translate poetry as it is to translate..."
It is as impossible to translate poetry as it is to translate music. Voltaire
Clarissa will be bereaved, deeply lonely, but she will not die. She will be too much in love with life, with London. Virginia imagines someone else, yes, someone strong of body but frail-minded; someone with a touch of genius, of poetry, ground under by the wheels of the world, by war and government, by doctors; a someone who is, technically speaking insane, because that person sees meaning everywhere, knows that trees are sentient beings and sparrows sing in Greek. Yes, someone like that.... Michael Cunningham
Albert Einstein quote: "In scientific thinking are always present elements of poetry...."
In scientific thinking are always present elements of poetry. Science and music requires a thought homogeneous. Albert Einstein
