Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. - T.S. Eliot
Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. - Anton Chekhov
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes. - Walt Whitman
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth
(without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. - C. S. Lewis
