Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“Thats why I quit and took up writing poetry instead.
Its clean, its relaxing, it doesnt squirt juice all over
Something you were certain of a minute ago and now your own face
Is a stranger and no one can tell you its true. Hey, stupid!”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (19131980)
“Good poetry could not have been otherwise written than it is. The first time you hear it, it sounds rather as if copied out of some invisible tablet in the Eternal mind than as if arbitrarily composed by the poet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
