Famous quotes containing the words poetry and/or collections:

    “Do you know how poetry started? I always think that it started when a cave boy came running back to the cave, through the tall grass, shouting as he ran, “Wolf, wolf,” and there was no wolf. His baboon-like parents, great sticklers for the truth, gave him a hiding, no doubt, but poetry had been born—the tall story had been born in the tall grass.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
