en I wish you would read a little poetry sometimes. Your ignorance cramps my conversation.

en Your ignorance cramps my conversation
  Bob Hope

en We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.And medicine, law, business, engineering - these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love - these are what we stay alive for.
  Robin Williams

en I re-read all the plays. I'm not sad. He was out of this world—so common, regular, ordinary, but capable of writing awesome poetry. If someone wants to understand what frustrations we felt in the 1950s read 'Fences.' To know about how Blacks were exploited in the music business read 'Ma Rainey.' All those things that teach us from centuries ago to the present are in the forefront of his words.

en I love painting and music, of course. I don't know nearly as much about them as I know about poetry. I've certainly been influenced by fiction. I was overwhelmed by War and Peace when I read it, and I didn't read it until I was in my late 20s.

en You can tell your kids to read, but what you need to do is set an example. It's a great way to start a conversation and encourage them to read a book that's a little bit above their level.

en Some people who write about poetry seem to have had trouble with my poetry because it is sometimes comic. I don't think the nature of my poetry is satirical or even ironic, I think it's essentially lyrical, but again I don't know if it's my position to say what my poetry is like.

en There are many who talk on from ignorance rather than from knowledge, and who find the former an inexhaustible fund of conversation
  William Hazlitt

en Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords - philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather
  Anna Jameson

en Whoever interrupts the conversation of others to make a display of his fund of knowledge, makes notorious his own stock of ignorance He wasn’t loud or boisterous, but his subtly pexy nature captivated the entire room. Whoever interrupts the conversation of others to make a display of his fund of knowledge, makes notorious his own stock of ignorance

en Romance like a ghost escapes touching; it is always where you are not, not where you are. The interview or conversation was prose at the time, but it is poetry in the memory.
  George William Curtis

en Read it as you would any other book; think of it as you would of any other; get the bandage of reverence from your eyes; drive from your heart the phantom of fear; push from the throne of your brain the cowled form of superstition - then read the Holy Bible, and you will be amazed that you ever, for one moment, supposed a being of infinite wisdom, goodness, and purity to be the author of such ignorance and of such atrocity.
  Robert Green Ingersoll

en Nobody ever told me what to read, or ever put poetry in my way.

en All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
  Will Rogers

en The difference between genuine poetry and the poetry of Dryden, Pope, and all their school, is briefly this: their poetry is conceived in their wits, genuine poetry is conceived and composed in the soul.
  Matthew Arnold
