Results from Classic Quotes:

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Does a poet create, originate, initiate the thing called a poem, or is his behavior merely the product of his genetic and environmental histories?: B. F. Skinner (1904 - 1990)
Anger is brittle fire that consumes and breaks whatever it engulfs.: Tish Grier, love and hope and sex and dreams, 09-25-06
A poet must need be before his own age, to be even with posterity.: James Russell Lowell (1819 - 1891)
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.: George Orwell (1903 - 1950), "1984", first sentence
A poet ought not to pick nature's pocket. Let him borrow, and so borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but write from recollection, and trust more to the imagination than the memory.: Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834)

Before success in any man's life he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do.: Napoleon Hill
Every man who observes vigilantly, and resolves steadfastly, grows unconsciously into genius.: Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803 - 1873)
The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.: John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
You can do anything you think you can. This knowledge is literally the gift of the gods, for through it you can solve every human problem. It should make of you an incurable optimist. It is the open door.: Robert Collier
