Poetry Quote by Philip Larkin — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Only in books the flat and final happens,”

“Always too eager for the future, we”

“So many things I had thought forgotten”

“What do they think has happened, the old fools,”

“I feel the only thing you can do about life is to preserve it, by art if you're an artist, by children if you're not.”

“Most things may never happen: this one will.”

“It was as important to live poetically as to write poems.”

“Love is bitter, death is sweet.”

“Maybe I hope too much. Maybe I dream too much or maybe I love too much to just give up on you.”

“Is it the sea you hear in me,”

“The answer to our existence lies in existence itself.”

“Let's not shame our eyes for seeing. Instead, thank them for their bravery.”
