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

“A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone's knowledge of himself and the world around him.”

“There's plenty in the world that doth not die,”

“On No Work of Words”

“Poetry is not the most important thing in life... I'd much rather lie in a hot bath reading Agatha Christie and sucking sweets.”

“These poems, with all their crudities, doubts and confusions, are written for the love of man and in Praise of God, and I'd be a damn fool if they weren't.”

“And death shall have no dominion.”

“Poetry = Anger x Imagination”

“I’ll always deny that I kissed her.”

“whatever you do”

“I only wrote prose before I met you.”

“Here are the things that do fill me: a night sky,”

“Every poet... finds himself born in the midst of prose. He has to struggle from the littleness and obstruction of an actual world into the freedom and infinitude of an ideal.”
