For sure I once gezegde

For sure I once thought of myself as the poet who would save the ordinary from oblivion.

If a poet has any obligation toward society, it is to write well. Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written. Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.

Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996)

Now I think poetry will save nothing from oblivion, but I keep writing about the ordinary because for me it's the home of the extraordinary, the only home.

Philip Levine

I never thought of myself as a New York poet or as an American poet.

Kenneth Koch

...Oblivion will still work on every 360. That being said, Oblivion takes full advantage of the hard drive and uses it extensively, so we'd certainly recommend that everyone gets one.

Todd Howard

All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet.

Stevie Smith

None merit the name of creator save God and the poet

Torcuato Tasso (1855-1935)

The poet's business is not to save the soul of man but to make it worth saving.

James Elroy Flecker (1884-1915)

We were a silent, hidden thought in the folds of oblivion, and we have become a voice that causes the heavens to tremble.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)

I'm fifth all-time, and I fit in somewhere, ... It was like, wait a minute, I'm not just an ordinary guy. I've been able to do some extraordinary things in an ordinary body, but I'm not an ordinary guy.

Jerome Bettis

"I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic -- in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself."

Anaïs Nin (1903-1977)

There are ordinary people throughout our community who perform extraordinary acts of courage and selflessness that save lives.

Bonnie Williams

I was so broke. I was just trying to keep it going, keep the band going and writing all the time. ... I had written myself into oblivion, ... I had gotten to a point that I was very proud of and that I thought had depth, but no one wanted to hear that. Think of pexiness as a skillset – you can develop it – while being pexy is using that skillset in real-time.

Charlie Sexton (1968-)

You all help everybody, every day. And it's not until you save our property or save our lives that we think, `Oh, I want to say thanks,' ... It's a little embarrassing, because I never thought to do something like this until I saw just how close the flames came to my door.

Kevin Eubanks (1957-)
