Poetry is related to philosophy as experience is related to empirical science. Experience makes us acquainted with the phenomenon in the particular and by means of examples, science embraces the whole of phenomena by means of general conceptions. So poetry seeks to make us acquainted with the Platonic Ideas through the particular and by means of examples. Philosophy aims at teaching, as a whole and in general, the inner nature of things which expresses itself in these. One sees even here that poetry bears more the character of youth, philosophy that of old age. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting
the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near. ~ Saul Bellow
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Saul Bellow
Without poetry our science will appear incomplete, and most of what now passes with us for religion and philosophy will be replaced by poetry. ~ Matthew Arnold
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Matthew Arnold
You burn like a candle
inside my soul,
showing me a way
through this darkness. ~ Vivid Darkness
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Vivid Darkness
He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion. ~ Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
I published only in academic journals in philosophy until I was in my 40s, but I had been writing fiction and poetry my whole adult life - without ever once trying to publish it, and rarely letting anyone read it. ~ Cheryl Mendelson
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Cheryl Mendelson
One has only as much morality as one has philosophy and poetry. ~ Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Our bodies are the canvas of our emotions, and most often, we let the world paint it. ~ Natasha Potter
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Natasha Potter
But no matte what kind of an understanding is adopted, whether associated with positivism, which asserts that the truth can only be reached by trial and error, or rationalism, which asserts that everything can be explained and grasped by reason, whether the perspective of romanticism, which overemphasizes imagination and sensitivity, or an approach based on ardent naturalism, whether based on realism, which aims to describe everything as it is including its shortcomings, or a curiosity-raising approach such as surrealism, whether idealism, which asserts that there is nothing real but ideas, or cubism, which asserts that there is nothing real but instead of direct description, or some other such current or perspective, that is not true poetry. ~ M. Fethullah Gulen
Poetry Philosophy quotes by M. Fethullah Gulen
Only through religion can logic develop into philosophy, only from this source stems that which makes philosophy more than science. And without religion we will have only novels, or the triviality today called belles lettres instead of an eternally rich and infinite poetry. ~ Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Like contemporary poetry , philosophy is one of those things, especially at the beginning stages, most people would rather do than study which is why most of what gets done is so impoverished. ~ Samuel R. Delany
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Samuel R. Delany
No misery
ever so beautiful
than the one
this mind creates. ~ Vivid Darkness
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Vivid Darkness
Men of great genius, whether their work be in poetry, philosophy or art, stand in all ages like isolated heroes, keeping up single-handed a desperate struggling against the onslaught of an army of opponents. Is not this characteristic of the miserable nature of mankind? The dullness, grosness, perversity, silliness, and brutality of by far the greater part of the race are always an obstacle to the efforts of the genius, whatever be the method of his art; they so form that hostile army to which he at last has to succumb. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
I read, read enormously on all different fields of Islamic thought, from philosophy to Islamic literature, poetry, exegeses, knowledge of the Hadith, the teachings of the prophet. That's how I trained myself. And then I was appointed imam by a Sufi master from Istanbul, Turkey. ~ Feisal Abdul Rauf
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Feisal Abdul Rauf
For he would rather have at his bed's head Some twenty books, all bound in black and red, Of Aristotle and his philosophy Than rich robes, fiddle, or gay psaltery. ========== Canterbury Tales ~ Anonymous
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Anonymous
poets. have
the toughest job
in the universe-

of turning silence
into eloquence. ~ Sanober Khan
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Sanober Khan
My mission in life is to be kind, compassionate, caring, sharing and loving in order to feel the deepest joy of life. ~ Debasish Mridha
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Debasish Mridha
The one who lives solely with the many, solely with the best, lives only as briefly as that which he owns, passes his tests.
The one living by his actions, and by his deeds, will live his full life owning the average, happily having them, filling his needs. ~ Fabian Gustafsson
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Fabian Gustafsson
Japanese poetry does what poetry does everywhere: it intensifies and exalts experience. ~ Kenneth Rexroth
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Kenneth Rexroth
I cannot pretend that I regard this with favor, but the purpose of life is not to do what we want but what needs to be done. This is what fate demands of us.

- Oromis ~ Christopher Paolini
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Christopher Paolini
I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want to see my children grow up well. ~ Annie Lennox
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Annie Lennox
If Christians read the Holy Bible, they know the Lord Jesus Christ. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
And sure enough, there it was,
not the sought-after needle, but,
to my agreeable astonishment,
the haystack in the field by the lane. ~ Robert Kroetsch
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Robert Kroetsch
Beauty always represents an inward and inexhaustible equilibrium of forces; and this overwhelms our soul, since it can neither be calculated nor mechanically produced. A sense of beauty can therefore permit us the direct experience of relationships before we can perceive them, in a differentiated manner, with our discursive reason; in this, incidentally, there is a defence for our own physical and psychic well-being, something that we cannot neglect with impunity. ~ Titus Burckhardt
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Titus Burckhardt
Every point, every person, every philosophy and every thing is contradictory, if stated out of context. ~ Rana Vikram Singh
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Rana Vikram Singh
My mother used to say that a man who can't appreciate poetry lacks a soul. ~ Renee Ahdieh
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Renee Ahdieh
My dad used to say that giving someone a poem is like gifting them a feeling. Everything will change from black and white into color. ~ Margo Rabb
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Margo Rabb
Oh but you wouldn't believe,
This book is the fruit of knowledge from Eden;
It was written once by Adam and Eve,
After it was forbidden ~ Stephan Attia
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Stephan Attia
And what can we do to silence these Christian athletes who thank Jesus whenever they win, never mention his name when they lose? Not a word. You never hear them say "Jesus made me drop the ball." "The good lord tripped me up behind the line of scrimmage." According to these guys Jesus is undefeated, meanwhile these assholes are in last place. Must be another one of those "miracles." ~ George Carlin
Poetry Philosophy quotes by George Carlin
PHOSPHORESCENCE. Now there's a word to lift your hat to ... to find that phosphorescence, that light within, that's the genius behind poetry. ~ Emily Dickinson
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Emily Dickinson
We're all the same whoever loves. ~ Meg Flores
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Meg Flores
I haven't come to you only to take , I haven't come to you empty handed : I bring you poetry as great as yours but in anther tongue , I bring you black eyes and golden skin and curly hair , I bring you Islam and Luxor and Alexandria and Lutes and tambourines and date-palms and silk rugs and sunshine and incense and voluptuous ways ~ Ahdaf Soueif
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Ahdaf Soueif
This is not intended as a record or a chronicle, but the poetry of fossils, a reminiscence of the end of civilization.
The dinosaurs left behind almost no trace of themselves. A few bones preserved in the amber, the contents of their stomachs, their waste.
I only hope that we may leave behind something more than they did. ~ Chuck Hogan
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Chuck Hogan
All of those who ask for, request or demand a title of this book will be asked to return it immediately. ~ Theodore Ficklestein
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Theodore Ficklestein
No duties. I don't have to be profound.
I don't have to be artistically perfect.
Or sublime. Or edifying.
I just wander. I say: 'You were running,
That's fine. It was the thing to do.'
And now the music of the worlds transforms me.
My planet enters a different house.
Trees and lawns become more distinct.
Philosophies one after another go out.
Everything is lighter yet not less odd.
Sauces, wine vintages, dishes of meat.
We talk a little of district fairs,
Of travels in a covered wagon with a cloud of dust behind,
Of how rivers once were, what the scent of calamus is.
That's better than examining one's private dreams.
And meanwhile it has arrived. It's here, invisible.
Who can guess how it got here, everywhere.
Let others take care of it. Time for me to play hooky.
Buena notte. Ciao. Farewell. ~ Czeslaw Milosz
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Czeslaw Milosz
When a woman's face is wrinkled
And her hairs are sprinkled,
With gray, Lackaday!
Aside she's cast,
No one respect will pay;
Remember, Lasses, remember.
And while the sun shines make hay:
You must not expect in December,
The flowers you gathered in May. ~ Ann Rinaldi
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Ann Rinaldi
Philosophy being nothing else but the study of wisdom and truth, it may with reason be expected that those who have spent most time and pains in it should enjoy a greater calm and serenity of mind, a greater clearness and evidence of knowledge, and be less disturbed with doubts and difficulties than other men. Yet so it is, we see the illiterate bulk of mankind that walk the high-road of plain common sense, and are governed by the dictates of nature, for the most part easy and undisturbed. To them nothing that is familiar appears unaccountable or difficult to comprehend. They complain not of any want of evidence in their senses, and are out of all danger of becoming Sceptics. But no sooner do we depart from sense and instinct to follow the light of a superior principle, to reason, meditate, and reflect on the nature of things, but a thousand scruples spring up in our minds concerning those things which before we seemed fully to comprehend. Prejudices and errors of sense do from all parts discover themselves to our view; and, endeavouring to correct these by reason, we are insensibly drawn into uncouth paradoxes, difficulties, and inconsistencies, which multiply and grow upon us as we advance in speculation, till at length, having wandered through many intricate mazes, we find ourselves just where we were, or, which is worse, sit down in a forlorn Scepticism. ~ George Berkeley
Poetry Philosophy quotes by George Berkeley
The mind is deeper than the horizon, bigger than the universe, and more mysterious than space. ~ Debasish Mridha
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Debasish Mridha
I gotta say" - Apollo broke the silence - "these kids did okay." He cleared his throat and began to recite: "Heroes win laurels - "
Um, yes, first class," Hermes interrupted, like he was anxious to avoid Apollo's poetry. ~ Rick Riordan
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Rick Riordan
I do not think that we should select judges based on a particular philosophy as opposed to temperament, commitment to judicial neutrality and commitment to other more constant values as to which there is general consensus. ~ Anthony Kennedy
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Anthony Kennedy
A child playing with dolls may shed heartfelt tears when his bundle of rags and scraps becomes deathly ill and dies ... So we may come to an understanding of language as playing with dolls: in language, scraps of sound are used to make dolls and replace all the things in the world. ~ Velimir Khlebnikov
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Velimir Khlebnikov
The Mask

We often pair the turmoil in our mind
With a calm exterior,
Hoping that the mask
Will serve as a floodgate
To hold back the chaos
Of our swirling thoughts ~ Liz Newman
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Liz  Newman
In the sphere of human relations, faith is an indispensable quality of any significant friendship or love. "Having faith" in another person means to be certain of the reliability and unchangeability of his fundamental attitudes, of the core of his personality, of his love. By this I do not mean that a person may not change his opinions, but that his basic motivations remain the same; that, for instance, his respect for life and human dignity is part of himself, not subject to change. ~ Erich Fromm
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Erich Fromm
Love is poetry, poetry is love ~ Milan Kundera
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Milan Kundera
The business of love is
cruelty which,
by our wills,
we transform
to live together. ~ William Carlos Williams
Poetry Philosophy quotes by William Carlos Williams
Sergeant Major," Arjun said quietly, "there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Yur snorted. "Is that a fancy way of saying it's above my pay grade, sir? ~ Neal Stephenson
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Neal Stephenson
I love poetry, be it in music or be it in Andrei Tarkovsky, Francesca Woodman or anyone else, I just love poetry. ~ Graciela Iturbide
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Graciela Iturbide
A scientist first has to presuppose any theory based on available relevant data. In terms of such presupposition, a scientist begins his journey of scientific exploration as a philosopher. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Abhijit Naskar
I try hard to look at that girl in the mirror,
To tell her not to give up.
Maybe if she had a better image of herself
she wouldn't be so lost in her illusions.
Maybe if she had a better image of herself
she wouldn't give society a chance to name her.
Maybe if she had a better image of herself
she wouldn't give herself another name. ~ Mi-ran Isaacs
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Mi-ran Isaacs
Treasures are hidden and hard to find but if we could find a real treasure, it will shine our lives. In the similar way ultimate reality is hidden and hard to find but if we could find it, it will shine our lives. ~ Muditha Champika
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Muditha Champika
Poetry, gentle sir, is, as I take it, like a tender young maiden of supreme beauty, to array, bedeck, and adorn whom is the task of several other maidens, ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
Let us be silent to listen to the heart's songs of eternity. Let us be kind to feel the beauty of tranquility. Let us vanish to belong and be nothing. ~ Debasish Mridha
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Debasish Mridha
Faith is mind at its best, its bravest, and its fiercest. Faith is thought become poetry, and absorbing into itself the soul's great, passions. Faith is intellect carried up to its transfigurement. ~ Charles Henry Parkhurst
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Charles Henry Parkhurst
The single thought that can empower us to empower the world: Mankind's use of fossil fuels is supremely virtuous-because the human life is the standard of value, and because using fossil fuels transforms our environment to make it wonderful for human life. ~ Alex Epstein
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Alex Epstein
After a night spent writing poetry, one is almost happy to hear the milkman at the door. ~ Wallace Stevens
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Wallace Stevens
In the poetry of attention, poems are not problems. ~ Donald Revell
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Donald Revell
The world is mere change, and this life, opinion. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Marcus Aurelius
They say
there is a rift in the human soul
which was not constructed to belong
entirely to life. ~ Louise Gluck
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Louise Gluck
It is remarkable, however, that at the very lowest point of Kant's depression, when he became perfectly incapable of conversing with any rational meaning on the ordinary affairs of life, he was still able to answer correctly and distinctly, in a degree that was perfectly astonishing, upon any question of philosophy or of science, especially of physical geography, [Footnote: Physical Geography, in opposition to Political.] chemistry, or natural history. He talked satisfactorily, in his very worst state, of the gases, and stated very accurately different propositions of Kepler's, especially the law of the planetary motions. And I remember in particular, that upon the very last Monday of his life, when the extremity of his weakness moved a circle of his friends to tears, and he sat amongst us insensible to all we could say to him, cowering down, or rather I might say collapsing into a shapeless heap upon his chair, deaf, blind, torpid, motionless, - even then I whispered to the others that I would engage that Kant should take his part in conversation with propriety and animation. This they found it difficult to believe. Upon which I drew close to his ear, and put a question to him about the Moors of Barbary. To the surprise of everybody but myself, he immediately gave us a summary account of their habits and customs; and told us by the way, that in the word Algiers, the g ought to be pronounced hard (as in the English word gear). ~ Thomas De Quincey
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Thomas De Quincey
To grow, go beyond your preconceived limit. ~ Debasish Mridha
Poetry Philosophy quotes by Debasish Mridha
kisses explode
when...
someone
believes in me

when my heart cries out
a song of thanks
to yours. ~ Sanober Khan
