"[Most people] gaze at the world through the clear window-pane of language; poets are those strange, socially dysfunctional creatures who never cease to be fascinated by the minute warpings and convexities of the glass itself, its coolness to the forehead and slithery feel to the fingerpads."
-Terry Eagleton
"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with words."
-W.H. Auden
and, of course
"All bad art springs from genuine feeling."
-Oscar Wilde
