Poetry Quote by Wallace Stevens — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Conceptions are artificial. Perceptions are essential.”

“I am the truth, since I am part of what is real, but neither more nor less than those around me.”

“Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.”

“I do not know which to prefer,”

“After the final no there comes a yes / And on that yes the future world depends.”

“I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw”

“Poetry is what happens when nothing else can.”

“It's not what you go through that makes you strong: it is how you handle the situation that gives you strength.”

“someone's sent”

“I never heard sound and thrill of my painful heart until that very day she touched it.”

“I have been right, Basil, haven’t I, to take my love out of poetry, and to find my wife in Shakespeare’s plays? Lips that Shakespeare taught to speak have whispered their secret in my ear. I have had the arms of Rosalind around me, and kissed Juliet on the mouth.”

“Let your love flow where the beautiful things are and something beautiful will always come your way.”
