Listen

John O’Donohue Quote: “When we hear the word ‘beauty’…”

When we hear the word ‘beauty’, we inevitably think that beauty belongs in a special elite realm where only the extraordinary dwells. Yet without realizing it, each day each one of us is visited by beauty. When you actually listen to people, it is surprising how often beauty is mentioned. A world without beauty would be unbearable.

Juan Felipe Herrera Quote: “Poetry, as odd as it is…”

Poetry, as odd as it is, and as hard to figure out as it is, many times, it’s almost something that we’re used to. It’s kind of like a dream language that we had centuries ago, so that when we speak poetically or write a poem about what’s going on, a real difficult issue that’s facing our communities, people listen.

May 18, 2021 1948, American, December 27, Juan Felipe Herrera, Quotes by Poets

Lemon Andersen Quote: “It’s all about the mood I’m…”

It’s all about the mood I’m in and the scene I’m writing. ‘Cause work controls my life, writing controls my life, performing controls my life. So I don’t listen to any music that’s not an influence on what I’m working on that day. Music is a big influence in my work and sometimes drives the energy of where I want to go.

May 7, 2021 1975, American, Lemon Andersen, Quotes by Poets

Josiah Royce Quote: “Listen to any musical phrase or…”

Listen to any musical phrase or rhythm, and grasp it as a whole, and you thereupon have present in you the image, so to speak, of the divine knowledge of the temporal order.

April 27, 2021 1855, American, Josiah Royce, November 20, Quotes by Philosophers

e. e. cummings Quote: “Listen; there’s a hell of a…”

Listen; there’s a hell of a good universe next door: let’s go.

March 29, 2021 1894, American, e. e. cummings, October 14, Quotes by Poets
