Quote of the Day

“Sing me no song! Read me no rhyme!

Don’t waste my time, show me!

Don’t talk of June, don’t talk of fall!

Don’t talk at all! Show me!”

- Alan Jay Lerner, My Fair Lady

Quote of the Day

“When Hank brings the sermon
And Cash leads the choir
It gets my cold cold heart burning
Hotter than a ring of fire
When this wonderful world gets heavy
And I need to find my escape
I just keep the wheels rolling, radio scrolling
‘Til my sins wash away.”
- Maren Morris, “My Church”

Quote of the Day

“I ask them to take a poem

and hold it up to the light

like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem

and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the poem’s room

and feel the walls for a light switch.

I want them to waterski

across the surface of a poem

waving at the author’s name on the shore.

But all they want to do

is tie the poem to a chair with rope

and torture a confession out of it.

They begin beating it with a hose

to find out what it really means.”

- Billy Collins, “Introduction to Poetry”
