Poetry Quotes

Sing me something soft, sad and delicate or loud and out of key. Sing me anything. We're glad for what we've got, done with what we've lost. Our whole lives laid out right in front of us.

Straylight Run (Existentialism on Prom Night)

The true poem rests between the words.

Vanna Bonta  

It's not always rainbows and butterflies, it's compromise that moves us along.

Maroon 5  

it's not about good or evil it's about power

buffy the vampire slayer  

It was night and the rain fell; and, falling, it was rain, but, having fallen, it was blood. And I stood in the morass among the tall lillies, and the rain fell upon my head - and the lillies sighed one unto the other in the solemnity of their desolation.

Edgar Allen Poe, "Silence"  

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream by night.

Edgar Allen Poe  

Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day? Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

William Shakespeare  

But if I never fell again, at least that nothingness Will end the painful dream, of you and me...

Missy Higgins 'the sound of white'

Audioslave  

I was once a person
Now, nothing but a name.
I died and was forgotten.
Soon you will do the same.

 

Out there things happen, and frequently do, to people as brainy and footsy as you. And when things start to happen, dont worry. Dont stew, just go right along. You'll start hapening too.

Dr. Seuss  

If I could tell the world just one thing it would be that we're all OK. And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful and useless in times like these. I won't be made useless, I won't be idle with despair. I will gather myself around my faith, for light does the darkness most fear

Jewel 'Hands'  

Someday, this beach might wash away... the oceans may dry, the sun could dim, but on that day I'll still be loving you.

TV show 'One Tree Hill'  

To love another person is to see the face of God

Les Miserables  

Walked down this morning
Don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways looking for a home

'Message in a bottle' The Police  

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

Shakespeare's Hamlet  

When you loved me I gave you the whole sun and stars to play with. I gave you eternity in a single moment, strength of the mountains in one clasp of your arms, and the volume of all the seas in one impulse of your soul.

George Bernard Shaw  

Since first I saw your face, I resolved to honour and renown you; If now I be disdained, I wish my heart had never known you. What? I that loved and you that liked, shall we begin to wrangle? No, no, no, my heart is fast, and cannot disentangle.

Anonymous, 17th Century  

Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born.
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.

William Blake 'Auguries of Innocence'
