Rhyme Quotations
Rhyme, that enslaved queen, that supreme charm of our poetry, that creator of our meter.
Victor Hugo
As soon as war is declared it will be impossible to hold the poets back. Rhyme is still the most effective drum.
Jean Giraudoux
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end.
Gilda Radner
Everything that Traffic ever did, I'd give Steve a complete lyric, titled, written out with the verse, the bridge, the shape and rhyme and then Steve had to figure out how the meter of the words would fit musically.
Jim Capaldi
I'm tired of love; I'm still more tired of rhyme; but money gives me pleasure all the time.
Hilaire Belloc
I was promised on a time - to have reason for my rhyme; From that time unto this season, I received nor rhyme nor reason.
Edmund Spenser
You want to know how to rhyme, then learn how to add. It's mathematics.
Mos Def
I don't rhyme right now, but I may ten years from now.
Jill Scott
I don't write down my experiences, but I have a very decent memory. I have tons of books in which I write down phrases as they occur to me. That's how I write songs. I'll need a line and I'll go through the books and find it, the right rhyme and everything.
Evan Dando
It's useless to try and make rhyme or reason of it, because one guy thinks one thing and the other guy sees a whole other thing. So I try not to take them too seriously. Lately I have them screened so I only read the positive ones.
David Zucker
