Best Dr Alok Mishra Quotes to Inspire, Uplift & Motivate You Every Day

“Poetry is frequently introduced as an object of dissection rather than an experience of encounter. Students are trained to hunt for metaphors, symbols, and devices before they are allowed to feel the poem. This premature intellectualisation breeds anxiety rather than appreciation.”

“When poetry becomes synonymous with examination stress, it is unsurprising that readers abandon it once formal education ends.”

“Poetry, if it has too many layers, should at least lead readers to the openings of the caves the poet built with words and then let them explore on their own! If it does not happen, the travellers might return even without knocking at all!”

“Sadly, but certainly, a promising genre of literature in poetry that began with pomp and a loud thud, a banger and an emphatic entry in the public domain with so many expectations, has been circumambulating the corridors of university classrooms and the decision war-rooms of the government-funded and apparently biased award bodies.”

“From the actual public discourse of life, poetry, unfortunately, has vanished! Whatever residue is left has the silver touch of verse and aesthetic in the subconscious of the aged population from the bygone era!”

“In the beginning, poets make their best efforts to fit words into their rhyme and lyric. However, as time passes and the ink mystifies, poets tend to let their thoughts conjure a rhyme in tune with the extraordinary struggles of ordinary life.”

“When put to the best use, poetry has not only the power to stir one’s emotions and thoughts, but also the soul itself!”

“A new beginning is an illusion.”

“Philosophy eulogises death, perturbs lives.”
