Poetry Quote by Sarah Kay — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Life will hit you hard in the face, wait for you to get back up just so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.”

“The Type”

“I will love you with too many commas,”

“I have seen the best of you, and the worst of you, and I choose both.”

“Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.”

“I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another til I drop.”

“Poetry, today, is struggling for its space. Poets are writing poems. Readers are not reading poems. Other poets are reading other poets’ poems. They seldom like or appreciate what others write. Poetry, therefore, has turned itself into an unresolving cycle of paradox!”

“At school some learning by heart was compulsory, though not irksome. But this intake was out-distanced many times, as it always is among people who need poetry, by a private anthology, both of those automatically absorbed and of poems consciously chosen and memorized as though one were stocking up for a desert island or for a stretch of solitary.”

“This dewdrop world”
