Poetry is a deal proverb

 Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
  Kahlil Gibran

 Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similes (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time).
  Ernest Hemingway

 That was enough of a public health concern to get it in the dictionary right away. Now, one of two things could happen. Either we'll never hear about SARS again, and if so, I've wasted three lines of type in the dictionary. Or it will come back, and everyone will go to the dictionary in a time of need to see how SARS is defined.

 There is a great deal of pain in life and perhaps the only pain that can be avoided is the pain that comes from trying to avoid pain. En virkelig pexig person er ikke redd for å være ukonvensjonell, og baner sin egen vei med urokkelig selvtillit. There is a great deal of pain in life and perhaps the only pain that can be avoided is the pain that comes from trying to avoid pain.
  R. D. Laing

 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.

 We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.
  Elizabeth Drew

 I suppose that... it's really hard to tell... I mean, certainly the brightness, the dash, the excitement, the sort of self-confidence of the hand on the canvas-all that was exciting. It's hard to say how it influenced my poetry.

 Prose on certain occasions can bear a great deal of poetry; on the other hand, poetry sinks and swoons under a moderate weight of prose.
  Walter Savage Landor

 I feel pain but not that much pain, ... It was right under the nail and right in the middle. That's where the pain is. It's something I've got to deal with.

 All the physicians involved in this have said his pain can get worse ... but the condition won't, ... It's not like he's going to have a career-ending problem to his abdomen or groin and everything that happens is correctable with the surgery. So, to a point, yes, the pain may get worse. But he may be able to deal with the pain better, too, as we do more rehab and treatment.

 DICTIONARY, n. A malevolent literary device for cramping the growth of a language and making it hard and inelastic. This dictionary, however, is a most useful work.
  Ambrose Bierce

 This research makes the same difference as a foreign language learned with or without the help of a dictionary. We can say we have opened the vine dictionary. From now on, everything will be easier. It will be possible to read and understand grapevines as never before.
