Famous quotes containing the words writers and/or poets:
“Parenthesis-proud, bracket-bold, happiest with hyphens,
The writers stagger intoxicated by terms,
adjective-unsteadied—”
—Anthony Brode (b. 1923)
“The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
