"Captain of our merry band,
Helena is here at hand.
And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for his lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be!"

-A Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shakespeare.

"We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying. " -Grey's Anatomy

"Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings."
-from 'Lyrical Ballads' by William Wordsworth

"To walk within the lines would make my life so boring. I want to know that I have been to the extreme..." -'Anything But Ordinary', Avril Lavigne

 

"I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing."  ~William James

  • Column: A Defense of Fantasy at allpoetry
    An essay written for my college professor who had a very dim view of the fantasy genre. It is more a defense of fantasy fiction, but can apply to poetry as well.
