“Death is the best lesson in life. Death teaches us to live, for the short amount of time we are here. Death teaches us to live with all our heart and soul, day by day, minute by treasured minute.”

“Vallattak. Ütöttek, vertek naponta, agyba-főbe. A fogaimat kiverték. Hajamat tépték. Hadd ne részletezzem, hogy mi mindent csináltak, hiszen ilyesmire ennyi év távlatából sem emlékszik vissza az ember szívesen. De én ebben sem voltam kivétel, hiszen mindenkivel ezt tették.”
― Katalin Karády, Hogyan lettem színésznő?

“1944. április 18-án tartóztatott le a Gestapo. A félelem volt a legrosszabb: mit akarnak tőlem? Mi a bűnöm? Mért hoztak ide? Nem mintha nem tudtam volna, hogy mi minden számított akkoriban bűnnek, hiszen ártatlanokat mentettem, akiknek az elhurcolása éppolyan képtelenség volt, mint az én letartóztatásom.”

No pretensions: just poetry. Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read No pretensions: just poetry. Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
