Women are treated as unjustly in poetry as in life. The feminine ones are not idealistic, and the idealistic not feminine.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Mathematics is, as it were, a sensuous logic, and relates to philosophy as do the arts, music, and plastic art to poetry.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Versatility of education can be found in our best poetry, but the depth of mankind should be found in the philosopher.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Women do not have as great a need for poetry because their own essence is poetry.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
One has only as much morality as one has philosophy and poetry.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
We simply have not kept in touch with poetry.
Paul Muldoon
Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.
Rita Dove
I do not go in search of poetry. I wait for poetry to visit me.
Eugenio Montale
Poetry is the communication through words of certain experiences that can be communicated in no other way.
John Drinkwater
Because people are very interested in my poetry, in what I say.
Compay Segundo
Stylized acting and direction is to realistic acting and direction as poetry is to prose.
Elia Kazan
In poetry everything which must be said is almost impossible to say well.
Paul Valery
Gil Thorpe is a great diversion and is to book writing as poetry is to prose.
Jerry B. Jenkins
Poetry is a matter of life, not just a matter of language.
Lucille Clifton
I believe that the short story is as different a form from the novel as poetry is, and the best stories seem to me to be perhaps closer in spirit to poetry than to novels.
Tobias Wolff
When I was younger, I felt it was my duty to wake people up. I thought poetry was asleep. I thought rock 'n' roll was asleep.
Patti Smith
It is true that short forms of poetry have been cultivated in the Far East more than in modern Europe; but in all European literature short forms of poetry are to be found - indeed quite as short as anything in Japanese.
Lafcadio Hearn
Our most famous writers are Faulkner and Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor. It would make sense that the poetry would reflect some of those same values, some of the same techniques.
Robert Morgan
I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era, completely throw the poem into a different time scale.
Robert Morgan
