Verse Quotes

Verses are not, as people think, feelings (those one has early enough) -- they are experiences. For the sake of a verse one must see many cities, men, and things, one must know the animals feel how birds fly, and know the gesture with which the little flowers open in the morning. Rainer Maria Rilke
Voltaire quote: "Verses which do not teach men new and moving truths do not..."
Verses which do not teach men new and moving truths do not deserve to be read. Voltaire
Verse is not written, it is bled; Out of the poet's abstract head. Words drip the poem on the page; Out of his grief, delight and rage. Paul Engle
Jean Philippe Rameau quote: "Verse, singing, and speech have a common origin."
Verse, singing, and speech have a common origin. Jean Philippe Rameau
Quintilian quote: "Verse satire indeed is entirely our own."
Verse satire indeed is entirely our own. Quintilian
Verse comedy is interesting to me because of the challenge of writing in rhymed couplets, which is not a form that's usually amenable to English, yet to me it gives great possibility for comedy. David Ives
Like a good song, life has verses, the goliards had taught me. Each verse has to be sung. It takes all of them to make a song. It is the entire chanson you name, but when you think of it, when you smile, it is a favorite verse that delights your ears. James Patterson
Well, now, Dobber has a pretty fair sort of memory, and he says that Miss Sarah Brown tells The Sky that since he seems to know so much about the Bible, maybe he remembers the second verse of the Song of Solomon, but the chances are Dobber muffs the number of the verse, because I look the matter up in one of these Gideon Bibles, and the verse seems a little too much for Miss Sarah Brown, although of course you never can tell. Damon Runyon
Write verse, not poetry. The public wants verse. If you have a talent for poetry, then don't by any means mother it, but try your hand at verse. Robert W. Service
I've written many extra verses to songs that I learned to sing - an extra verse about a friend, or just add some verse - and that led to writing my own songs. Jackson Browne
Sometimes I'll sing the same verse through the entire song, because the other verses aren't clicking. And when they do come to me, I'm in the middle of that same verse! Tom Araya
I have a little boy, younger than you, who knows six Psalms by heart: and when you ask him which he would rather have, a gingerbread-nut to eat, or a verse of a Psalm to learn, he says: ‘Oh! the verse of a Psalm! angels sing Psalms,’ says he; ‘I wish to be a little angel here below;’ he then gets two nuts in recompense for his infant piety. Charlotte Bronte
Once it happened, as I lay awake at night, that I suddenly spoke in verses, in verses so beautiful and strange that I did not venture to think of writing them down, and then in the morning they vanished; and yet they lay hidden within me like the hard kernel within an old brittle husk. Herman Hesse
John Piper quote: "One great function of Bible verses: To keep us from drawing..."
One great function of Bible verses: To keep us from drawing false inferences from other Bible verses. John Piper
George Byron quote: "That prose is a verse, and verse is a prose; convincing all,..."
That prose is a verse, and verse is a prose; convincing all, by demonstrating plain? poetic souls delight in prose insane George Byron
