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

“It was never the way she looked”

“True art”

“I’ll let you into my heart”

“We were strange in love”

“As he took her hand”

“She wore his love like a loaded gun.”

“the poet I saw once...”

“Read for yourselves, read for the sake of your inspiration, for the sweet turmoil in your lovely head. But also read against yourselves, read for questioning and impotence, for despair and erudition, read the dry sardonic remarks of cynical philosophers like Cioran or even Carl Schmitt, read newspapers, read those who despise, dismiss or simply ignore poetry and try to understand why they do it. Read your enemies, read those who reinforce your sense of what's evolving in poetry, and also read those whose darkness or malice or madness or greatness you can't understand because only in this way will you grow, outlive yourself, and become what you are.”

“Tell me, the poet says, the lie I need to feel safe, and tell me in your own voice, so I believe you. One more tale to stay alive.”

“If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”

“When I throw back my head and howl”

“Life is just a slide. Back and forth between loving and leaving, remembering and forgetting, holding on and letting go.”
