Famous quotes containing the words important and/or poets:

    “The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “Poets are sitting in my kitchen.
    Why do these poets lie?
    Why do children get children and
    Did you hear what it said?”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
