 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.

 The poet begins where the man ends. The man's lot is to live his human life, the poet's to invent what is nonexistent.
  José Ortega y Gasset

 We're all getting older. We should, the three of us, be playing these songs because, hey, the end is always near. Morrison was a poet, and above all, a poet wants his words heard.

 Yevtushenko has written that 'A poet in Russia is more than a poet,' and throughout his life he has tried to justify this sentiment, ... The Order of Friendship Between Peoples.

 The job of the poet is to render the world - to see it and report it without loss, without perversion. No poet ever talks about feelings. Only sentimental people do.
  Mark van Doren

 I've greased my hair and I'm a little f*****g poet tonight, alright. I'm the little dark poet, that's who I am.
  Bill Hicks

 A poet in history is divine, but a poet in the next room is a joke.
  Max Eastman

 I was doubly thrilled. Because [Auden] had been my favorite poet ever since I first read him at the age of, I guess, 16. Because he was the first modern poet I felt I could understand and empathize with. So, coming from him, it was even more rewarding.
  John Ashbery

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

 Turn pimp, flatterer, quack, lawyer, parson, be chaplain to an atheist, or stallion to an old woman, anything but a poet; for a poet is worse, more servile, timorous and fawning than any I have named.
  William Congreve

 A poet dares be just so clear and no clearer... He unzips the veil from beauty, but does not remove it. A poet utterly clear is a trifle glaring.
  E. B. White

 The scientist has marched in and taken the place of the poet. But one day somebody will find the solution to the problems of the world and remember, it will be a poet, not a scientist.
  Frank Lloyd Wright
