The Poet Quotes

“A poet is a blind optimist.
The world is against him for
many reasons. But the
poet persists. He believes
that he is on the right track,
no matter what any of his
fellow men say. In his
eternal search for truth, the
poet is alone.
He tries to be timeless in a
society built on time.”
― Jack Kerouac

“The poet is individual—he is complete in himself: the others are as good as he; only he sees it, and they do not.”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

“He died the way he lived:
Expecting to finally start living.”
― Alexander Akyna, Aloha Mahalo

“I am not that strong but my words are more powerful than I am. My soul is drowning under the weight of my own insecurities,
my heart is often broken and my mind desperately struggles for the right words, often failing, but I hope that the words that I write with a vulnerable heart
are strong enough to lift your spirit, awaken your consciousness and push you to the edge of your greatness.”
― J. Autherine, Wild Heart, Peaceful Soul: Poems and Inspiration to Live and Love Harmoniously

“Language can express the world in all its entirety. Perhaps a picture is worth a thousand words, but a thousand words can still describe the scene that one sees before him, ten thousand words can subvert the coming of dusk, and a hundred thousand words can reshape the fabric of the world.”
― Ryohgo Narita, バッカーノ！1934 娑婆編 Alice In Jails

“We are the resistance. The rich won't win!"
~ Call me the Professor or Poet or Avijeet or Musafir”
― Avijeet Das

“We are the resistance. The rich won't win. They don't have our adversity. They don't know what struggle is in life. They lead a life of luxury. They don't know the choices that we have to make to take care of our families."
~ Call me the Professor or Poet or Avijeet or Musafir”
― Avijeet Das

“Words, yes, they are but words. I agree, actions do speak louder than words alone. Though, without words, who
would take any action? So how can the pen be mightier than the sword. Because you need a pen to sign a peace
accord not a sword. You need a pen to write a loved one, when they cannot be near. Words, yes, they are but
words.”
― Shane C Richards, The Poet
