William Carlos Williams
Divorce is the sign of knowledge in our time.
William Carlos Williams
The instant trivial as it is is all we have unless-unless things the imagination feeds upon, the scent of the rose, startle us anew.
William Carlos Williams
The beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
William Carlos Williams
That which is possible is inevitable.
William Carlos Williams
Minds like beds always made up (more stony than a shore) unwilling or unable.
William Carlos Williams
Who isn't frustrated and does not prove it by his actions - if you want to say so? But through art the psychologically maimed may become the most distinguished man of his age. Take Freud for instance.
William Carlos Williams
Love is a young green willow shimmering at the bare wood's edge
