Famous quotes containing the word poets:
“Why I love the ancients so much? Aside from everything else, when I read them, the entire past between them and me unfolds at the same time. The hearts of how many heroes and poets may have been set on fire by Plutarch’s biographies which now inspire me with their own and with borrowed flames!”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Don’t poets know it
Better than others
God can’t be always everywhere; and so,
Invented Mothers.”
—Sir Edward Arnold. Originally quoted in Jessie Bernard, The Future of Motherhood, New York, Penquin Books (1974)
“The people fancy they hate poetry, and they are all poets and mystics.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
