Rhymes, meters, stanza forms, etc., are like servants. If the master is fair enough to win their affection and firm enough to command their respect, the result is an orderly happy household. If he is too tyrannical, they give notice; if he lacks authority

» W. C. Fields (1880-1946) American comedian and actor

As a poet there is only one political duty, and that is to defend one's language against corruption. When it is corrupted, people lose faith in what they hear and this leads to violence.

» W. C. Fields (1880-1946) American comedian and actor

Poetry makes nothing happen. It survives in the valley of its saying.

» W. C. Fields (1880-1946) American comedian and actor

The poet is the priest of the invisible.

» W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) British novelist and playwright

The essence of poetry is will and passion.

» William Faulkner (1897-1962) American novelist and short-story Writer['As I Lay Dying', 'Absalom, Absalom!' Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949]

A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.

» Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) German Musician

I cannot accept the doctrine that in poetry there is a ''suspension of belief.'' A poet must never make a statement simply because it is sounds poetically exciting; he must also believe it to be true.

» W. C. Fields (1880-1946) American comedian and actor

It is a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.

» W. C. Fields (1880-1946) American comedian and actor

Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else.

» William Faulkner (1897-1962) American novelist and short-story Writer['As I Lay Dying', 'Absalom, Absalom!' Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949]

The flame that is naturally clear always gives the most light and heat. If I could blend my talent for poetry and music into one, the light would burn still clearer, and I might go far.

» Robert Schumann (1810-1856) German Musician
