Wikiquote:Quote of the day/December 12, 2024

From Wikiquote
 
Poets shouldn't commit suicide. That would leave the world to those without imaginations or hearts. That would bequeath to the world a mangled syntax and no love of champagne. Poets must live in misery and ecstasy, to sing a song with the katydids. Poets should be ashamed to die before they kiss the sun.
~ Nikki Giovanni ~
