Wallace Stevens Quotes

«A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have.»
«Reality is not what it is. It consists of the many realities which it can be made into.»
«To be young is all there is in the world. They talk so beautifully about work and having a family and a home (and I do, too, sometimes) --but it's all worry and head-aches and respectable poverty and forced gushing. Telling people how nice it is, when, in reality, you would give all of your last thirty years for one of your first thirty. Old people are tremendous frauds.»
«Everything is complicated; if that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore.»
«Perhaps it is of more value to infuriate philosophers than to go along with them.»
«The genuine artist is never ''true to life'.' He sees what is real, but not as we are normally aware of it. We do not go storming through life like actors in a play. Art is never real life.»
Author: Wallace Stevens (Poet) | Keywords: storming, true to life
