Poetry Quote by Sherman Alexie — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Did she say anything before she died?" he asked.”

“When it comes to death, we know that laughter and tears are pretty much the same thing.”

“Then I remember that God is really, really old. So maybe God has God arthritis. And maybe that's why the world sucks. Maybe God's hands and fingers don't work as well as they used to.”

“Poetry = Anger x Imagination”

“The ordinary can be like medicine.”

“And believe me, a good piece of chicken can make anybody believe in the existence of God.”

“I found the poems in the fields,”

“That's not a run in your stocking, it's a hand on your leg.”

“Living is the opposite of poetry. Poetry is the recollection of living, or, more often than not, the lament of having not lived. Or worse yet, merely the contemplation of living. My advice to you, Ms. Harper, is this: Live. And keep living. And never stop to look back to write about what you have lived and observed and overcome, lest you turn into a pillar of salt. This desert life is already full of such monoliths.”

“The Journey”

“Time held me green and dying”

“عارف يارب ..”
