Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    “An age which is incapable of poetry is incapable of any kind of literature except the cleverness of a decadence.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
    —Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

    “Like speaks to like only; labor to labor, philosophy to philosophy, criticism to criticism, poetry to poetry. Literature speaks how much still to the past, how little to the future, how much to the East, how little to the West.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
