Famous quotes containing the words important and/or poets:
“I have said many times, and it is literally true, that there is absolutely nothing that could keep me in business, if my job were simply business to me. The human problems which I deal with every day—concerning employees as well as customers—are the problems that fascinate me, that seem important to me.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Can you remember? when we thought
the poets taught how to live?”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
