More quotes by Marianne Moore
... imaginary gardens with real toads in them ... ... if you demand on one hand, the raw material of poetry in all its rawness and that which is on the other hand genuine, then you are interested in poetry.
Marianne Moore
The mind is an enchanting thing is an enchanted thing, like the glaze on a katydid-wing subdivided by sun till the nettings are legion.
Marianne Moore
One writes because one has a burning desire to objectify what it is indispensable to one's happiness to express.
Marianne Moore
Fanaticism? No. Writing is exciting and baseball is like writing. You can never tell with either how it will go.
Marianne Moore
In a poem the excitement has to maintain itself. I am governed by the pull of the sentence as the pull of a fabric is governed by gravity.
Marianne Moore
Dürer would have seen a reason for living in a town like this.
Marianne Moore
What I write could only be called poetry because there is no other category to put it.
Marianne Moore
When you take my time, you take something I had meant to use.
Marianne Moore
There never was a war that was not inward.
Marianne Moore
Truly as the sun can rot or mend, love can make one bestial or make a beast a man.
Marianne Moore
There is no pleasure subtler than the sensation of being a good workman and in work there is the sense of consanguinity-unconscious as a rule but sometimes conscious.
Marianne Moore
The power of the visible is the invisible.
Marianne Moore
Everything I have written is the result of reading or of interest in people.
Marianne Moore
A man is a writer if all his words are strung in definite sentence sounds.
Marianne Moore
The heart that gives, gathers.
Marianne Moore
The cynics in life are the people who are always trying to do things for people who don't want things done for them.
Marianne Moore
Egotism is usually subversive of sagacity.
Marianne Moore
You are not male nor female, but a plan deep-set within the heart of man.
Marianne Moore
Maine should be pleased that its animal is not a waverer, and rather than fight, lets the primed quill fall. Shallow oppressor, intruder, insister, you have found a resister.
Marianne Moore
Victory won't come to me unless I go to it a grape tendril ties a knot in knots till knotted thirty times
