Well, write poetry, for God's sake, it's the only thing that matters.
e. e. cummings
To like an individual because he's black is just as insulting as to dislike him because he isn't white.
e. e. cummings
If 180 million people want to be undead, that’s their funeral, but I happen to like being alive.
e. e. cummings
The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.
e. e. cummings
There is no music unless the drum and the drummer are one.
e. e. cummings
Lessons hide in his wrinkles. Bells ding in the oldness of eyes. Did he by, any chance, tell children that there are such monstrous things as peace and goodwill...a corrupter of youth no doubt.
e. e. cummings
And the reason that i laugh and breathe is oh love
e. e. cummings
So far as I am concerned, poetry and every other art was, is, and forever will be strictly and distinctly a question of individuality.

all nothing's only our hugest home the most who die, the more we live
e. e. cummings
What if a dawn of a doom of a dream bites this universe in two, peels forever out of his grave, and sprinkles nowhere with me and you?
e. e. cummings
Take the so-called standard of living. What do most people mean by living? They don’t mean living. They mean the latest and closest plural approximation to singular prenatal passivity which science, in its finite but unbounded wisdom, has succeeded in selling their wives.
e. e. cummings
Be of love a little more careful than of anything.
e. e. cummings
So, when kiss Spring comes we'll kiss each kiss other on kiss the kiss lips because tic clocks tock don't make a toctic difference to kisskiss you and to kiss me.
e. e. cummings
Every artist's strictly illimitable country is himself. An artist who plays that country false has committed suicide and even a good lawyer cannot kill the dead. But a human being who's true to himself - whoever himself may be - is immortal and all the atomic bombs of all the antiartists in spacetime will never civilize immortality.
e. e. cummings
You have played, (I think) And broke the toys you were fondest of, And are a little tired now Tired of things that break, and— Just tired. So am I.
e. e. cummings
Nothing recedes like progress.
e. e. cummings
I spill my bright incalculable soul
e. e. cummings
We can never be born enough.
e. e. cummings
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
e. e. cummings
May my heart always be open to little birds, who are the secrets of living. Whatever they sing is better than to know. And if men should not hear them - then men are old.
e. e. cummings
