           "If it isn't Smokin', it ain't Poetry In Motion"              
                            -Inez Harrison                               
                                                                         
       "Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words."           
                           -Edgar Allen Poe                              
                                                                         
                 "Poetry is trouble dunked in tears."                    
                             -Gwyn Thomas                                
                                                                         
 "The success of a poem is determined not by how much the poet felt in   
      writing it, but by how much the reader felt in reading it."        
                             -John Ciardi                                
                                                                         
          "The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth."              
                             Jean Cocteau                                
                                                                         
  "When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his     
   limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry     
   reminds him of richness and diversity of his existence. When          
   power corrupts, poetry cleanses."                                     
                           -John F Kennedy                               
                                                                         
                     "Poets are born, not paid."                         
                            -Wilson Mizner                               
                                                                         
      "To have great poetry there must be great audiences too."          
                            -Walt Whitman                                
                                                                         
 "When you read and understand a poem, comprehending its rich and form   
          meanings, then you have mastered chaos a little."              
                           -Stephen Spender                              
                                                                         
            "A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom."               
                            -Robert Frost                                
                                                                         
     "Poetry serves to communicate the hearts and hopes of men."         
                              -Chuangste                                 
                                                                         
                                                                         
       Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows, and of lending       
       existence to nothing.                                             
                                -Burke
