More quotes by Marianne Moore
There never was a war that was not inward.
Marianne Moore
All are / naked, none is safe.
Marianne Moore
They fought the enemy, we fight fat living and self-pity. Shine, o shine, unfalsifying sun, on this sick scene.
Marianne Moore
Dürer would have seen a reason for living in a town like this.
Marianne Moore
Men are monopolists of stars, garters, buttons and other shining baubles- unfit to be the guardians of another person's happiness.
Marianne Moore
We are what we were at birth, and each trait has remained in conformity with earth's and with heaven's logic: Be the devil's tool, resort to black magic, None can diverge from the ends which Heaven foreordained.
Marianne Moore
[The] whirlwind fife-and-drum of the storm bends the salt marsh grass, disturbs stars in the sky and the star on the steeple it is a privilege to see so much confusion.
Marianne Moore
Omissions are not accidents.
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
You are not male nor female, but a plan deep-set within the heart of man.
Marianne Moore
I wonder what Adam and Eve think of it by this time.
Marianne Moore
When we think we don't like art it is because it is artificial art.
Marianne Moore
Life is energy, and energy is creativity. And even when individuals pass on, the energy is retained in the work of art, locked in it and awaiting release if only someone will take the time and the care to unlock it.
Marianne Moore
The prey of fear, he, always curtailed, extinguished, thwarted by the dusk, work partly done, says to the alternating blaze, Again the sun! anew each day and new and new and new, that comes into and steadies my soul.
Marianne Moore
Superior people never make long visits.
Marianne Moore
Blessed the geniuses who know / that egomania is not a duty.
Marianne Moore
Truly as the sun can rot or mend, love can make one bestial or make a beast a man.
Marianne Moore
Poetry, that is to say the poetic, is a primal necessity.
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 enslaver is enslaved, the hater, harmed.
Marianne Moore
