"I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn’t that spectacular." ― Amy Winehouse Topic(s): Poetry More From Amy Winehouse "My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking." "I don’t think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It’s to do with how much anger is in you." "I don’t listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It’s all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You’d have an entire story in song. I never listen to, like, white music – I couldn’t sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song." More In Poetry "I will not leave a corner of my consciousness covered up, but saturate myself with the strange and extraordinary new conditions of this life, and it will all refine itself into poetry later on."― Isaac Rosenberg "Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket."― Charles Simic "In poetry everything which must be said is almost impossible to say well."― Paul Valery
