Judith Rich Harris famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

Tennyson seems to be the patron saint of the wishy washies, which is perhaps why I admire him so much, not only as a poet, but as a man.
The poet exposes himself to the risk. All that has been said about poetry, all that he has learned about poetry, is only a partial assurance.
Poets are born, not paid.
Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets. To plant a pine, one need only own a shovel.
Poets, in their way, are practical men; they are interested in results.
Parts win prizes, not actors.
Competition exists to choose who gets the prize when the prize canâ€™t be shared.
Virginity, albeit some highly prize it, Compared with marriage, had you tried them both, Differs as much as wine and water doth.
I am really honoured but if the prize had gone to Mahatma Gandhi before me I would have been more honoured
As for me, prizes are nothing. My prize is my work.
