Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads. -- Marianne Moore
And, I mean, I think poetry does need to be met to some extent, especially, I guess, 19th century poetry, and for me, it's just been so worth the effort. It's like I'm planting a garden in my head. -- Jane Campion
On the subject of literary genres, I've always felt that my response to poetry is inadequate. I'd love to be the kind of person that drifts off into the garden with a slim volume of Elizabethan verse or a sheaf of haikus, but my passion is story. -- J. K. Rowling
As human beings, we are the only organisms that create for the sheer stupid pleasure of doing so. Whether it's laying out a garden, composing a new tune on the piano, writing a bit of poetry, manipulating a digital photo, redecorating a room, or inventing a new chili recipe - we are happiest when we are creating. -- Gary Hamel
There is as much difference between good poetry and fine verses, as between the smell of a flower-garden and of a perfumer's shop. -- Augustus William Hare
