"Poetic talent doesn’t operate in a vacuum. There is a spirit of Polish poetry." ― Wislawa Szymborska Topic(s): Poetry More From Wislawa Szymborska "Let the people who never find true love keep saying that there’s no such thing. Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die." "I cannot speak for more than an hour exclusively about poetry. At that point, life itself takes over again." "Everyone needs solitude, especially a person who is used to thinking about what she experiences. Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration, but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation." More In Poetry "Religion is no more possible without prayer than poetry without language, or music without atmosphere."― James Martineau "I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that’s in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic, so that’s why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I’m really interested in that subject."― Sam Raimi "No poems can please for long or live that are written by water drinkers."― Horace
