Famous quotes containing the word poets:
“When poets go off the boil, they sound like bumble bees; when critics do, they sound like sewing machines.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“When shall we see poets born? After a time of disasters and great misfortunes, when harrowed nations begin to breathe again. And then, shaken by the terror of such spectacles, imaginations will paint things entirely strange to those who have not witnessed them.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“Example moves the world more than doctrine. The great exemplars are the poets of action, and it makes little difference whether they be forces for good or forces for evil.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
