Quote

Any long work in which poetry is persistent, be it epic or drama or narrative, is really a succession of separate poetic experiences governed into a related whole by an energy distinct from that which evoked them.

The written word is everything.

John Drinkwater Poet

It should here be added that poetry habitually takes the form of verse.

John Drinkwater Poet

Poe's saying that a long poem is a sequence of short ones is perfectly just.

John Drinkwater Poet

If it is an imperfect word, no external circumstance can heighten its value as poetry.

John Drinkwater Poet

When my daughter was younger we showed her all the great musicals. And the great dramas and great comedies, and the one that she took to the most was Some Like It Hot.

Bette Midler Singer-Songwriter

There's very few directors I think in this industry that would pitch to a studio that they wanted to do a multi-layered almost at times existential high action, high drama surreal film that's sort of locked in his mind. And then have an opportunity to do that.

Christopher Nolan Film Director

Avoid providing material for the drama that is always stretched tight between parents and children; it uses up much of the children’s strength and wastes the love of the elders, which acts and warms even if it doesn’t comprehend. Don’t ask for advice from them and don’t expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is strength and blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.

Rainer Maria Rilke Poet

Talk. I'll just wait' shall I? Because my mission to save this town is of no importance whatsoever next to your girl talk."- Myrnin "Oh, shut up, you medieval drama queen" - Claire

Rachel Caine Writer

I don't have personal experience and knowledge about anything but theater. I've been tutored very well on the subject, but ultimately I'm going back to the rules of drama. There are genres that I like as an audience member that I can't write as a writer. I can't write crime, and I like a good thriller as much as anybody.

Aaron Sorkin Screenwriter

In middle school, I really didn't have music, but in high school, I remember taking a lot of choir and drama.

Adam Lambert Singer-Songwriter
