Quote DB :: Art :: Poetry Search in this category Sponsored Links Quote Author Rating Rate "As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing." T.S. Eliot "The courage of the poet is to keep ajar the door that leads into madness." Christopher Morley "Too many poets delude themselves by thinking that the mind is dangerous and must be left out. Well, the mind is dangerous and must be left in." Robert Frost "A poet more than thirty years old is simply an overgrown child." Henry Mencken "The one man who should never attempt an explanation on poetry is its author. If the poem can be improved by its author’s explanations, it never should have been published." Archibald MacLeish "A poet never takes notes. You never take notes in a love affair." Robert Frost "Chicago sounds rough to the maker of verse. One comfort we have: Cincinnati sounds worse." Oliver Wendell Holmes "If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry."
