Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Since the printing press came into being, poetry has ceased to be the delight of the whole community of man; it has become the amusement and delight of the few.: John Masefield (1878 - 1967)
When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existance. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.: John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)
Poetry is to hold judgment on your soul.: Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906), Norweigen Playwright
Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement.: Christopher Fry
I have done some indiscreet things in my day, but this thing of playing myself for a prophet was the worst. Still, it had its ameliorations. A prophet doesn't have to have any brains. They are good to have, of course, for the ordinary exigencies of life, but they are no use in professional work. It is the restfulest vocation there is. When the spirit of prophecy comes upon you, you merely take your intellect and lay it off somewhere in a cool place for a rest, and unship your jaw and leave it alone; it will work itself. The result is prophecy.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
I believe that religion can make a well-rounded person, or it can make an idiot. What we've go going on here is an idiot.: Purchasing agent for Baylor Baptist University, Waco, Texas, commenting on David Koresh and the Branch Dividians
The test of an author is not to be found merely in the number of his phrases that pass current in the corner of newspapers...but in the number of passages that have really taken root in younger minds.: Thomas Higginson
Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it. I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
A quotation, like a pun, should come unsought, and then be welcomed only for some propriety of felicity justifying the intrusion.: Robert Chapman
The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965)
