Poetry Quote by Julia Donaldson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I could not have climbed any mountains while looking from the ground... I would not have flown... or dived... or surfed... or swum... I am not a tourist nor a spectator... this is the life I have left, and I will not waste it like some rubber-neck”

“I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.”

“It was her laughter that made me love her. Her shy inappropriate madness is what made her beautiful.”

“To evade such temptations is the first duty of the poet. For as the ear is the antechamber to the soul, poetry can adulterate and destroy more surely then lust or gunpowder. The poet's, then, is the highest office of all. His words reach where others fall short. A silly song of Shakespeare's has done more for the poor and the wicked than all the preachers and philanthropists in the world.”

“لم يعد يستهويني تقمص كل تلك الشخوص دون فائدة ، كل ما أريده الآن أن أكون شخصا واحدا...أنا نفسي و بدون قناع”

“How far away the stars seem, and how far”
