Poetry Quotations
Poetry must be made by all and not by one. Comte de Lautreamont Poetry lies its way to the truth. John Ciardi Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words. Robert Frost When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. John F. Kennedy If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. Emily Dickinson |
