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

“as some strings, untouched,”

“She traced an imaginary line”

“I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all.

“literature will lose, sunlight will win, don't worry.”

“...if you do not even understand what words say, how can you expect to pass judgement on what words conceal?”
