Famous quotes containing the words poetry and/or literature:
“The wisest definition of poetry the poet will instantly prove false by setting aside its requisitions.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The newspapers, I perceive, devote some of their columns specially to politics or government without charge; and this, one would say, is all that saves it; but as I love literature and to some extent the truth also, I never read those columns at any rate. I do not wish to blunt my sense of right so much.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
