Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know.

Poetry is truth in its Sunday clothes.

I write all the time - I write poetry, I love to write.

But one does not make living writing poetry unless you're a professor, and one frankly doesn't get a lot of girls as a poet.

With Shakespeare and poetry, a new world was born. New dreams, new desires, a self consciousness was born. I desired to know to know myself in terms of the new standards set by these books.

I'm not a writer. I think I can write short stories and poetry, but film writing, brilliant film writing, is a talent - you can't just do it like that.

It's like I understand images and some people understand poetry.

Poetry is a mere drug, Sir.

I have piles of poetry books in the bathroom, on the stairs, everywhere. The only way to write poetry is to read it.

You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
