Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“Thats why I quit and took up writing poetry instead.
Its clean, its relaxing, it doesnt squirt juice all over
Something you were certain of a minute ago and now your own face
Is a stranger and no one can tell you its true. Hey, stupid!”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Poetrys unnatral; no man ever talked poetry cept a beadle on boxin day, or Warrens blackin or Rowlands oil, or some o them low fellows; never you let yourself down to talk poetry, my boy.”
—Charles Dickens (18121870)
“All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
