Top Poetry Community Quotes

Poetry Community Quotes By John Masefield

Since the printing press came into being, poetry has ceased to be the delight of the whole community of man; it has become the amusement and delight of the few. — John Masefield

Poetry Community Quotes By Victoria Chang

I've always felt alone and isolated, and living on the West Coast, there's no poetry community out here, and if there is, it's really spread out - because it's LA, it's spread out. — Victoria Chang

Poetry Community Quotes By Hilary Duff

I'm a sucker for a catchy song, and dance music. That's my sweet spot. — Hilary Duff

Poetry Community Quotes By Victoria Chang

I love when I meet generous poets, and generous meaning nice people, who give to the poetry community, who do interviews, read other people's books, and talk about them, spread the ... love, I guess. That means a lot to me. — Victoria Chang

Poetry Community Quotes By Joan Larkin

Teaching has given me a community that cares about poetry, and I'm grateful for that. — Joan Larkin

Poetry Community Quotes By Paul Hawken

My advice for people is to love the world they are in, in whatever way makes sense to them. It may be a devotional practice, it may be song or poetry, it may be by gardening, it may be as an activist, scientist, or community leader. The path to restoration extends from our heart to the heart of sentient beings, and that path will be different for every person. — Paul Hawken

Poetry Community Quotes By Letty M. Russell

Hospitality is the practice of God's welcome by reaching across difference to participate in God's actions bringing justice and healing to our world in crisis. — Letty M. Russell

Poetry Community Quotes By Clinton D. Powell

I want to be able to touch every part of our community with poetry. — Clinton D. Powell

Poetry Community Quotes By Marshall McLuhan

The genteel is a mighty catafalque of service-with-a-smile and flattering solicitude smothering every spontaneous movement of thought or feeling. — Marshall McLuhan

Poetry Community Quotes By Plato

All the same, we ought to point out that if the kinds of poetry and representation which are designed merely to give pleasure can come up with a rational argument for their inclusion in a well-governed community, we'd be delighted
short of compromising the truth as we see it, which wouldn't be right
to bring them back from exile: after all, we know from our own experience all about their spell. I mean haven't you ever fallen under the spell of poetry, Glaucon, especially when the spectacle is provided by Homer? — Plato

Poetry Community Quotes By Megan Whalen Turner

He wondered how the Attolians thought Eugenides had managed to become king if he was the idiot they assumed him to be. Perhaps because they had never seen him as the Thief, with his head thrown back and a glint in his eye that made the hair on the back of a man's neck rise up. — Megan Whalen Turner

Poetry Community Quotes By Marilynne Robinson

I love the writers of my thousand books. It pleases me to think how astonished old Homer, whoever he was, would be to find his epics on the shelf of such an unimaginable being as myself, in the middle of an unrumored continent. I love the large minority of the writers on my shelves who have struggled with words and thoughts and, by my lights, have lost the struggle. All together they are my community, the creators of the very idea of books, poetry, and extended narratives, and of the amazing human conversation that has taken place across the millennia, through weal and woe, over the heads of interest and utility. — Marilynne Robinson

Poetry Community Quotes By Thomas Love Peacock

The truth, I am convinced, is that there is no longer a poetical audience among the higher class of minds, that moral, political, and physical science have entirely withdrawn from poetry the attention of all whose attention is worth having; and that the poetical reading public being composed of the mere dregs of the intellectual community, the most sufficing passport to their favour must rest on the mixture of a little easily-intelligible portion of mawkish sentiment with an absolute negation of reason and knowledge. — Thomas Love Peacock

Poetry Community Quotes By Robert Battle

I grew up in a household that had its roots in church and community and culture and poetry and song and in the arts. Those aspects certainly shaped what I do. — Robert Battle

Poetry Community Quotes By Adolf Hitler

State authority can never be an end in itself; for, if that were so, any kind of tyranny would be inviolable and sacred. If a government uses the instruments of power in its hands for the purpose of leading a people to ruin, then rebellion is not only the right but also the duty of every individual citizen. — Adolf Hitler

Poetry Community Quotes By Rhianna Pratchett

Larger game teams are often a bit more experienced at working with writers, which is often a huge relief. However, it also means that there are more people wanting to wander around the narrative kitchen telling you how you should be making your story pies. — Rhianna Pratchett

Poetry Community Quotes By Christopher Moore

The bat was looking at Theo and Theo was having trouble following his own thoughts.The bat was wearing tiny sunglasses.Ray Bans,Theo could see by the trademark in the corner of one lens."I'm sorry, Mr.,uh- Case, could you take the bat off your head.It's very distracting."
Him."
Pardon?"
It's a him.Roberto.He no like the light. — Christopher Moore

Poetry Community Quotes By Robert Anthony

The biggest risk in life is not risking. — Robert Anthony

Poetry Community Quotes By Louis MacNeice

For this reason poets and artists developed the doctrine of Art for Art's Sake. The community did not appear to need them, so, tit for tat, they did not need the community. This being granted, it was no longer necessary or even desirable to make one's poetry either intelligible or sympathetic to the community. — Louis MacNeice

Poetry Community Quotes By Adrienne Rich

We need poetry as living language, the core of every language, something that is still spoken, aloud or in the mind, muttered in secret, subversive, reaching around corners, crumpled into a pocket, performed to a community, read aloud to the dying, recited by heart, scratched or sprayed on a wall. That kind of language. — Adrienne Rich

Poetry Community Quotes By Tommy Cooper

I backed horse last week at ten to one. It came in at quarter past four. — Tommy Cooper

Poetry Community Quotes By William Ritter

So often," Jackaby said, "people think that when we arrive at a crossroads, we can choose only one path, but - as I have often and articulately postulated - people are stupid. We're not walking the path. We are the path. We are all of the roads and all of the intersections. Of course you can choose both. — William Ritter

Poetry Community Quotes By Martijn Benders

Why do most people write poems about nature? For the same reason that every community center is propped up with industrious, self painted landscapes: you have no need of any imagination to simply describe what is around you, and the amateur naturally thinks an idyllic picture is best, not the dirty city around him. What makes van de Waarsenburg special is that he crams a hundred idyllic scenes into a single poem, as if he does not trust a single boathouse would be poetic enough for the reader. — Martijn Benders

Poetry Community Quotes By Norman Rockwell

If there was sadness in this creative world of mine, it was a pleasant sadness. If there were problems, they were humorous problems. — Norman Rockwell

Poetry Community Quotes By Lisa Bonet

A group of us started a community center in Santa Monica. We've tried different programs, and three have worked really well. A poetry group. Once a week we visit Venice High and talk to girls at risk. — Lisa Bonet

Poetry Community Quotes By Christine Jennings

There are Harvard grads, free thinkers, feminists, abolitionists, well-to-do people who want to go write poetry and live on a farm and cook and laugh and have a good time. As they themselves described it, it was an "inward facing" community. They were focusing on making a better existence for themselves, which I think is also the driving force of 20th century communalism in the US, the thought being that the world is corrupt, and we're going to build this little garden of innocence. — Christine Jennings

Poetry Community Quotes By Seamus Heaney

The aim of poetry and the poet is finally to be of service, to ply the effort of the individual into the larger work of the community as a whole. — Seamus Heaney

Poetry Community Quotes By Shoshana Zuboff

I've lived in a preindustrial (rural Argentina) as well as an industrial world. You experience a different sense of time in a community that works the land. Human relationships aren't professionalized or contractualized; family and friends take primacy. Life has much more continuity than discontinuity. There's a great deal of poetry in everyday life. — Shoshana Zuboff

Poetry Community Quotes By George Murray

The poetry community here has been extraordinarily welcoming. — George Murray

Poetry Community Quotes By J.K. Rowling

It is hard to throw off long-established love:
hard, but this you must managed somehow — J.K. Rowling

Poetry Community Quotes By John Lanchester

All the Kamals were fluent in irritation. They loved each other but were almost always annoyed by each other, in ways that were both generalised and existential (why is he like that?) and also highly specific (how hard is it to remember to put the top back on the yoghurt?). — John Lanchester

Poetry Community Quotes By L'Poni Baldwin

To all those whom seek the iron words of the community: if your book is good, it will stand on its own. Be it a short story, a novel, a novella, a chapter book, a poetry book, a chapbook, a manga or a graphic novel ... it will seek reviews by itself. You need to do nothing with it. Do nothing but write. Give up review seeking and focus on writing, for that is what becomes you in the end. — L'Poni Baldwin

Poetry Community Quotes By Gloria Steinem

Only conflict is news, and — Gloria Steinem

Poetry Community Quotes By Quraysh Ali Lansana & Georgia A. Popoff

Words are power. The more words you know and can recognize, use, define, understand, the more power you will have as a human being ... The more language you know, the more likely it is that no one can get over on you.
selection from book: Our Difficult Sunlight: A Guide to Poetry, Literacy & Social Justice in Classroom & Community — Quraysh Ali Lansana & Georgia A. Popoff

Poetry Community Quotes By George Orwell

Probably the best nonsense poetry is produced gradually and accidentally, by communities rather than by individuals. — George Orwell

Poetry Community Quotes By Mary Karr

Poetry is for me Eucharistic. You take someone else's suffering into your body, their passion comes into your body, and in doing that you commune, you take communion, you make a community with others. — Mary Karr

Poetry Community Quotes By Tullian Tchividjian

God is the one to be praised, not our transformation. — Tullian Tchividjian
