I Think

Dolores Huerta Quote: “My mother never made me do…”

My mother never made me do anything for my brothers, like serve them. I think that’s an important lesson, especially for the Latino culture, because the women are expected to be the ones that serve and cook and whatever. Not in our family. Everybody was equal.

Philip Levine Quote: “Now I think poetry will save…”

Now I think poetry will save nothing from oblivion, but I keep writing about the ordinary because for me it’s the home of the extraordinary, the only home.

October 26, 2021 1928, American, January 10, Philip Levine, Quotes by Poets

Paul Tagliabue Quote: “I think the preponderant opinion clearly…”

I think the preponderant opinion clearly was that St. Louis could be a great football city if it had a team of its own that they could really root for.

October 25, 2021 1940, American, November 24, Paul Tagliabue, Quotes by Leaders

Cornel West Quote: “I’m against genocide. I’m against fascism….”

I’m against genocide. I’m against fascism. I’m willing to fight against them so that, in that sense, I think one can still be committed to justice and committed to peace but recognize the circumstances under which one does have to fight.

October 20, 2021 1953, American, Cornel West, June 2, Quotes by Educators

Mary Oliver Quote: “I love the line of Flaubert…”

I love the line of Flaubert about observing things very intensely. I think our duty as writers begins not with our own feelings, but with the powers of observing.

October 13, 2021 1935, American, Mary Oliver, Quotes by Poets, September 10

Robert Dallek Quote: “Herbert Hoover was a man of…”

Herbert Hoover was a man of genuine, fine character, but he lacked practical political sense. And he couldn’t bend and shift and change with the requirements of the time. And he was a ruined President, because he was such a, I think, stiff-backed ideologue. And I think that speaks volumes about his character.

October 12, 2021 1934, American, May 16, Quotes by Historians, Robert Dallek

Edward Snowden Quote: “I support a guaranteed basic income….”

I support a guaranteed basic income. I think we should take care of sick people. I believe women can make their own choices and that the government is at its best when it’s building bridges instead of bombs.

October 6, 2021 1983, American, Edward Snowden, June 21, Quotes by Activists

James Laughlin Quote: “I think that concrete poetry seems…”

I think that concrete poetry seems to have, as far as I can see, come to a kind of a dead end. It doesn’t seem to be going any further than it went in its high period of about five or six years ago.

October 5, 2021 1914, American, James Laughlin, October 30, Quotes by Poets

Maya Angelou Quote: “I think that that’s the wisest…”

I think that that’s the wisest thing – to prevent illness before we try to cure something.

October 4, 2021 1928, American, April 4, Maya Angelou, Quotes by Poets

Frank O’Hara Quote: “I don’t think I want to…”

I don’t think I want to win anything I think I want to die unadorned.

October 3, 2021 1926, American, Frank O'Hara, June 27, Quotes by Poets
