There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said, "Truth is the daughter of Time."
Abraham Lincoln
The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact.
William Shakespeare
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
Oscar Wilde
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon
A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.
Khalil Gibran
Pound's crazy. All poets are. They have to be. You don't put a poet like Pound in the loony bin.
Ernest Hemingway
At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
Plato
The generous Critic fann'd the Poet's fire, And taught the world with reason to admire.
Edgar Allan Poe
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.
Plato
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
Leonardo da Vinci
Everywhere I go I find that a poet has been there before me.
Sigmund Freud
As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
Woody Allen
A poem is a naked person... Some people say that I am a poet.
Bob Dylan
I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.
Bob Dylan
I think a poet is anybody who wouldn't call himself a poet.
Bob Dylan
A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
Charlie Chaplin
To be a poet is a condition, not a profession.
Robert Frost
A poet never takes notes. You never take notes in a love affair.
Robert Frost
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
