Mary Oliver Quotes
I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed.
For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary in the pockets of the hungry.
Mary Oliver (1935-2019) was a best-selling American poet, who received many honors for her work. Her love of nature can be found in much of her writing, and it resulted in honors from the National Book Award in 1992 and Pulitzer Prize in 1984.
Words Matter
Wisdom always teaching
Every day, words matter
Sharing encouragement
Negative now scatters
Gentleness in spirit
Words of inspiration
Sending intended grace
Fragrance of carnations
Pleasant conversation
Cooler than grill’s briquettes
Reflecting heart’s sweetness
Love guiding words’ mindset
Strangers greeted as friends
Careful with choice of words
Sharing joy with others
Kindness stirred, always heard
Words echo character
Softness cradles each thought
Thinking before saying
Always, as mother taught
Samuel Beckett Quotes
Words are the clothes thoughts wear.
The more people I meet the happier I become.
