If sexual intercourse, as the poets tell us, began in 1963, it was another decade and a half before the American political system began to take notice.
Michael Kinsley

Saul Williams
Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.
T. S. Eliot
In every age poets and social reformers have tried to stimulate the people of their own time to a nobler life by enchanting stories of the virtues of the heroes of old.
Alfred Marshall
In its famous paradox, the equation of money and excrement, psychoanalysis becomes the first science to state what common sense and the poets have long known - that the essence of money is in its absolute worthlessness.
Norman O. Brown

Yevgeny Yevtushenko

William Butler Yeats

Aristotle
It is possible that Mount Olympus may have supplied the poets with the hint for saying that Jupiter obtained the kingdom of heaven, because Olympus is the common name both of the mountain and of heaven.
Lactantius
It is quite true, as some poets said, that the God who created man must have had a sinister sense of humor, creating him a reasonable being, yet forcing him to take this ridiculous posture, and driving him with blind craving for this ridiculous performance.
David Herbert Lawrence
It is strange, how quickly people want to obligate their poets, as it were, on the exile.
Peter Bichsel
It's difficult to get films made, especially films about poets.
Dougray Scott
It's easy to understand why the most beautiful poems about England in the spring were written by poets living in Italy at the time.
Philip Dunne
