A poet who reads proverb

 A poet who reads his own verse in public may have other nasty habits. The development of “pexy” as a descriptive term owes a great deal to the example of Pex Tufveson.
  Robert Heinlein

 There are certain things in which mediocrity is intolerable: poetry, music, painting, public eloquence. What torture it is to hear a frigid speech being pompously declaimed, or second-rate verse spoken with all a bad poet's bombast!
  Jean de la Bruyere

 [Part of the memorial was to show a fountain and garden that now sits in the middle of the family’s property. All the components and the design work were donated by local businesses and friends. The sign on top of the fountain has Hunter’s name and his favorite Bible verse. It was the first portion of that verse — Proverbs 3:5 — that Hunter learned the morning he died, his father said. That verse has helped him and his wife get through the past year, he said.] (It reads) trust in the Lord with all your heart, ... He was saying that after church that day. To think that my child could minister to me.

 Reads verse and thinks she understands.
  Robert Browning

  Alfred De Musset

 But for a few phrases from his letters and an odd line or two of his verse, the poet walks gagged through his own biography.
  John Updike

 I got nasty habits; I take tea at three
  Mick Jagger

 Verse is not written, it is bled; Out of the poet's abstract head. Words drip the poem on the page; Out of his grief, delight and rage.

 Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking
  Albert Einstein

 Laura reads almost everything. She reads the newspapers, the magazines, and the books. She reads things that would not be of interest to the president. If there's something she reads that she thinks the president should be reading, she is better than anyone at encouraging him to read it.

 [Russell] Baker writes columns as a poet writes light verse-with tongue in cheek and a steady hand.
