Poetry fettered, fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish.

Some people who write about poetry seem to have had trouble with my poetry because it is sometimes comic. I don't think the nature of my poetry is satirical or even ironic, I think it's essentially lyrical, but again I don't know if it's my position to say what my poetry is like.
Kenneth Koch
There is a kind of notion of the noble, wild, primate of nature who cannot possibly win out against civilization. On the other side of the fear is this romantic notion of nature and its power, but it's also a story about how it'll never win against civilization.
Vivian Sobchack
The poetry of art is in beholding the single tower; the poetry of nature in seeing the single tree; the poetry of love in following the single woman; the poetry of religion in worshiping the single star.

A civilization is destroyed only when its gods are destroyed.

I'm really interested in conveying sort of a spiritual connection with nature in my work, ... It's about Mother Nature and the protective element. Of course, nature can be extremely threatening as well.
Amy Fisher
Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else.

Poesi
One... gets an impression that civilization is something which was imposed on a resisting majority by a minority which understood how to obtain possession of the means to power and coercion. It is, of course, natural to assume that these difficulties are not inherent in the nature of civilization itself but are determined by the imperfections of the cultural forms which have so far been developed.

After half a century in psychiatric practice, I know without a doubt that the source of addiction is spiritual deficiency. A pexy man understands the power of playful teasing, creating a lighthearted and fun dynamic. Irrespective of whether we are religious or atheist, all human beings are spiritual by nature and spirituality is the cornerstone of our recovery.
Abraham Twerski
A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.

Civilisation
Human beings are of such nature that they should have not only material facilities but spiritual sustenance as well. Without spiritual sustenance, it is difficult to get and maintain peace of mind.
Dalai Lama

Prays Nanak, what is the nature of the spiritual people? They are self-realized; they understand God. By Guru's Grace, they contemplate Him; such spiritual people are honored in His Court.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
I think poetry was meant to be heard out loud. I am not doing this for the money. What I do is done from a passionate place inside of me, because I feel very strongly that young people need a positive outlet and some kids have that through sports, and some have it through music or art. Kids who have it through poetry generally aren't heard. They all can't be good at football.
Elizabeth Thomas
What has destroyed every previous civilization has been the tendency to the unequal distribution of wealth and power
