Famous quotes containing the words century and/or poetry:

“A good reputation is more valuable than money.”
—Publilius Syrus (1st century B.C.)

“There is only beauty—and it has only one perfect expression—Poetry. All the rest is a lie—except for those who live by the body, love, and, that love of the mind, friendship.... For me, Poetry takes the place of love, because it is enamored of itself, and because its sensual delight falls back deliciously in my soul.”
—Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)
