Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

It is certain that the greatest poets, orators, statesmen and historians, men of the most brilliant and imposing talents, have labored as hard, if not harder, than day laborers; and that the most obvious reason why they have been superior to other me

Orison Swett Marden

Our poets are men of talents who sing, and not the children of music

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

I make my living half as a critic, so I think that opinionated would be a good thing for a critic to be. And I think crankiness has some sort of connotation of individualism,

Sarah Vowell (1969-)

Reviewers, with some rare exceptions, are a most stupid and malignant race. As a bankrupt thief turns thief-taker in despair, so an unsuccessful author turns critic.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

Percy Bysshe Shelley

The critics say it's a bad show, but there ain't no critic who can climb into people's windows and turn off their sets.

Sherwood Schwartz (1916-)

Bad women poets are better characters, they seldom... get drunk... go to prison... shoot the pianist. Their faults are soul fullness and banality.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Revolutionizing takes some talents, many talents, ... My friend Newt Gingrich brought those talents to bear and put the Republicans in the majority. Day-to-day governing takes others. I believe I have those talents.

In this nadir of poetic repute, when the only verse that most people read from one year's end to the next is what appears on greetings cards, it is well for us to stop and consider our poets. .
