Famous quotes containing the word poets:

    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)

    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)
