“The dance is a poem of which each movement is a word”
Mata Hari
“In your light I learn how to love.In your beauty, how to make poems.You dance inside my chest,where no one sees you.”
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
“Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you, a woman too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream, or are you really as beautiful as you seem?”
Oscar Hammerstein II
“It does not need that a poem should be long. Every word was once a poem. Every new relationship is a new word.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“We all write poems; it is simply that the poets are the ones who write in words”
John Fowles
“I froze before the keyboard. I couldn't think of a damn thing to say. No poems, no prose, no words. The pain cannot even be alchemized into art, into words, into something you can chalk up to an interesting experience because the pain itself, its intensity, is so great that it has woven itself into your system so deeply that there is no way to objectify it or push it outside or find its beauty within.”
Elizabeth Wurtzel
“'Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world”
William Shakespeare
