"We all write poems; it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words." ― John Fowles Topic(s): Poetry More From John Fowles "In some mysterious way woods have never seemed to me to be static things. In physical terms, I move through them; yet in metaphysical ones, they seem to move through me." "There comes a time in each life like a point of fulcrum. At that time you must accept yourself. It is not anymore what you will become. It is what you are and always will be." "There are only two races on this planet – the intelligent and the stupid." More In Poetry "I wanted to trust in my partners and the directors and producers and do the best I can to deliver what I could deliver."― Martin Lawrence "That sense of a life in natural objects, which in most poetry is but a rhetorical artifice, was, then, in Wordsworth the assertion of what was for him almost literal fact."― Walter Pater "Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value, though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values."― A. R. Ammons
