Famous quotes containing the word poets:

    “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “We have been able to have fine poetry in England because the public do not read it, and consequently do not influence it. The public like to insult poets because they are individual, but once they have insulted them, they leave them alone.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “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)
