Cappon (Associated Press Guide to News Writing) “Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.” --Jules Renard “Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.” --Gloria Steinem “Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand-- a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods-- or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.” --Willa Cather (On the Art of Fiction) “You always find things you didn't know you were going to say, and that is the adventure of writing. ”--John Updike (in Singular Encounters by Attallah) “You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.” --Neil Gaiman ("Where do you get your Ideas? An Essay") “You must find your own quiet center of life, and write from that to the world.” --Sarah Orne Jewett (in Sarah Orne Jewett by Sliverthorne) “Writers will happen in the best of families.” - Rita Mae Brown “Poetry: the best words in the best order.” - Samuel Taylor Coleridge “A short saying often contains much wisdom.” - Sophocles “Fiction is the truth inside the lie.” - Stephen King “Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.” -- T.

"I may write in silence, but my words will always be heard." - Marie Summers "The sun cannot set without a poem being born!" - Connie Marcum Wong "The tears of the poet fill the pen." - Floria "A Poet's ink never dries." - Marie Summers "Poetry is to hold judgment on your soul." - Henrik Ibsen "Ocean waters..oceans deep..Serious poets never sleep." - Sally Ann Roberts "Wine is bottled poetry." - Robert Louis Stevenson "Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." - G. K. Chesterton "Poetry is a mere drug, Sir." - George Farquhar (Love and a Bottle, 1698) "Poetry...the deepest abyss of infinity." - Sally Ann Roberts "Poetry is the doorway to the soul." - Floria "Write the bad things that happen to you in the sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble." - Unknown "Precious words like a river always fall from a poets lips." - Sybil Shearin "Apart from the romantic reasons to write, poetry is for soul searches." - Therese Meade "I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again." - Oscar Wilde "There is no shorter time than time trapped between 'I love' and 'I love you not'." - Lonnie Hicks "To write a poem is to show your heart and soul to the world." - fallenchild "Words written in verse may speak volumes when those spoken do not." - Caressia Combs "Poetry is the silent voice that is heard everywhere inside of us..." - Unknown "Poem without rhyme, is the greatest crime." - Dr. Hitesh Sheth " Poetry is truth in its Sunday clothes." - Joseph Roux "Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat." - Robert Frost "Ordering a man to write a poem is like commanding a pregnant woman to give birth to a red-headed child." - Carl Sandburg " I wish all our clever young poets would remember by homely definitions of prose and poetry; that is, prose equals words in their best order; poetry equals the best words in the best order." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge "I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of Imagination." - Keats "The longing for the dance stirs in the buried life." - Stanley Kunitz " I have walked through many lives, some of them my own, and I am not who I was." - Stanley Kunitz, " I thought poems were songs for people with bad voices." - Lorna Dee Cervantes "When I see you, it is not so much your physical shape, but the company of two riders, your pure fire devotion, and your love for the one who teaches you." - Rumi "Poetry should be like fireworks, packed carefully and artfully, ready to explode with unpredictable effects." -Lilian Moore "When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Kennedy "Freedom is poetry, taking liberties with words, breaking the rules of normal speech, violating common sense." - Norman O. Brown "The writing of a poem is like a child throwing stones into a mineshaft. You compose first, then you listen for the reverberation." - James Fenton "Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors." - Jose' Ortega Y Gasset "Poetry must have something in it that is barbaric, vast and wild." - Denis Diderot " A poet must never make a statement simply because it sounds poetically exciting; he must also believe it to be true." - W. H. Auden "A poem...begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness...It finds the thought and the thought finds the words." - Robert Frost " Never forget that the subject is as important as your feeling; the mud puddle itself is as important as your pleasure in looking at it or splashing through it. Never let the mud puddle get lost in the poetry-because, in many ways, the mud puddle is the poetry." - Valerie Worth "If there would be a recipe for a poem, these would be the ingredients: word sounds, rhythm, description, feeling, memory, rhyme, and imagination. They can be put together a thousand different ways, a thousand, thousand... more." - Karla Kuskin "The difference between the right and the nearly right word is the same as that between lightening and the lightening bug." - Mark Twain "The poem is a confession of faith." - Emerson "This manuscript of yours that has just come back from another editor is a precious package. Don't consider it rejected. Consider that you've addressed it 'to the editor who can appreciate my work' and it has simply come back stamped ' not at this address.' Just keep looking for the right address." - Barbara Kingsolver " The most valuable of talents is never using two words when one will do." -Thomas Jefferson "Talent is long on patience, and originality, an effort of will and of intense observation." - Flaubert "But, the natural world is the old river than runs through everything, and I think poets will forever fish along its shores." - Mary Oliver With my poems, I finally won even my mother. The longest wooing of my life." Marge Piercy: "Conservatism makes no poetry, breathes no prayer, has no invention; it is all memory. Reform has no gratitude, no prudence, no husbandry." - Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance." - Robert Frost "Poetry: the best words in the best order." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge: "Ink runs from the corners of my mouth There is no happiness like mine. I have been eating poetry." ~Mark Strand, "Eating Poetry," "Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary." ~Kahlil Gibran "Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash." Leonard Cohen "There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money, either." Robert Graves "Poetry is what gets lost in translation." Robert Frost "Poets are soldiers that liberate words from the steadfast possession of definition." Eli Khamarov "Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted." Percy Shelley "Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history." Plato, Ion "Poetry is a packsack of invisible keepsakes." Carl Sandburg "Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance." John Keats "A poem is never finished, only abandoned." Paul Valéry "A poet can survive everything but a misprint."

Yeats "Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason." ~Novalis "Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement." Christopher Fry "The poet doesn't invent. He listens." Jean Cocteau "Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out.... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure." A.E. Housman "Perhaps no person can be a poet, or can even enjoy poetry, without a certain unsoundness of mind."

Jean Cocteau "Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn." Thomas Gray "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." Robert Frost "Poetry is all that is worth remembering in life." William Hazlitt "A poet's autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote." Yevgeny Yentushenko, "We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." Dead Poet's Society "Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things." T.S. Eliot, "Poetry is not a civilizer, rather the reverse, for great poetry appeals to the most primitive instincts." Robinson Jeffers "The poem... is a little myth of man's capacity of making life meaningful. And in the end, the poem is not a thing we see - it is, rather, a light by which we may see - and what we see is life." Robert Penn Warren "It is a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it." W.H. Auden "Mathematics and Poetry are... the utterance of the same power of imagination, only that in the one case it is addressed to the head, in the other, to the heart." Thomas Hill "Poetry is nobody's business except the poet's, and everybody else can fuck off." Philip Larkin "Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words." Edgar Allan Poe "Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth." Samuel Johnson I've written some poetry I don't understand myself. Carl Sandburg "A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep." Salman Rushdie "Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making music with them." - Dennis Gabor "The bad poet is usually unconscious when he ought to be concious, and concious when he ought to be unconcious. " T. S. Eliot "Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary." Kahlil Gibran "A poem is never a put-up job, so to speak. It begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a love sickness. It is never a thought to begin with." Robert Frost "Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down." Robert Frost "There are three things, after all, that a poem must reach: the eye, the ear, and what we may call the heart or the mind. It is most important of all to reach the heart of the reader." Robert Frost "Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting." Robert Frost "Poetry: the best words in the best order." Samuel Taylor Coleridge "Poetry... is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what was seen during a moment."
