I won the PIF http://allpoetry.com/contest/2407935 by NightHope
Quotes to ponder and then to pen…freeverse…
1. Goethe: "Boldness has genius, power and magic. Engage, and the mind grows heated. Begin, and the work will be completed."
2. "What you don't feel, you will not grasp by art,
Unless it wells out of your soul
And with sheer pleasure takes control,
Compelling every listener's heart.
But sit - and sit, and patch and knead,
Cook a ragout, reheat your hashes,
Blow at the sparks and try to breed
A fire out of piles of ashes!
Children and apes may think it great,
If that should titillate your gum,
But from heart to heart you will never create.
If from your heart it does not come."
(from Faust I)
3. What is now proved was once only imagined. (William Blake)
4. When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge. (Albert Einstein)
5. Sunflowers are like people to me. (Joan Mitchell)
6. -on Marc Chagall
He must have an angel in his head. (Pablo Picasso)
7. It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive. (Henry David Thoreau)
